The SEC announced that it was increasing the limit on Regulation Crowdfunding campaigns from $1.07 million to $5 million (per company, every 12 months)! This change will go into effect sometime in early 2021. After this new rule goes into effect, companies will be able to raise almost 5x as much on Republic as they previously could using Regulation Crowdfunding (most of the deals you see on [Republic](. Our real estate deals will also be able to raise up to $5 million per project, every 12 months. This will be a monumental change for our industry. We expect larger, more established startups to [seek funding]( on Republic once the limit is raised. And even more ambitious projects will become possible on [Republic Real Estate]( and in other verticals. We believe the end result will be very positive for both entrepreneurs and investors. We’ll keep you updated as we get closer to this change going live. There’s a lot more we have planned for 2021. We will continue to improve our [iPhone app]( launch an Android app ASAP, and keep working to improve the Republic experience for our community.
