While the JOBS Act has made progress on allowing non-accredited investors opportunities to participate in early private equity funding rounds, the burden it puts on companies to file Reg A+ Offerings and restrictions on non-accredited investors are likely to produce little change. This petition arises from a think piece, found here: http://www.blakeporterneuro.com/you-are-now-allowed-to-invest-in-the-nex... which proposes any citizen should have access to the privileges afforded by the Accredited Investor title and these privileges should not be bestowed only on the super wealthy because of their wealth. Rather, any citizen should have a means to earn accredited investor status through knowledge and education.
