Good question. When President Obama signed the JOBS Act into law on April 5, 2012, expectations were very high that it would provide huge benefits for many companies struggling to find expansion capital. 
The Act promised to reduce regulatory compliance requirements and lower costs for certain companies in the capital raising arena, and it seemed likely to open doors for the use of innovative financing methods such as crowdfunding.

Has it had any real positive effects on capital raising? I currently give the Act a C+, but have hopes for future improvement. Read my complete analysis: The JOBS Act – any results yet?
