Week in Review: JOBS Act Update and Inc. 500|5000

Posted by John E. Shave III | August 24, 2012

Safeguard Scientifics’ CFO Steve Zarrilli covered the JOBS act as a win for startups, venture capital, and the economy. Since then, the law was passed by Congress and changes in funding and the IPO process are becoming evident. An important part of the new law was the encouragement of capital formation through “crowdfunding.” While the SEC is still writing the rules for this portion of the JOBS Act, groups like the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) is weighing in on its potential dangers, especially fraud. We’ll keep following the effects of the JOBS act, so check back often for updates.
