拟议的复杂投资者测试变更将危及初创企业。 Proposed sophisticated investor test changes will jeopardise startups.

区域天使投资者网络创始人 Sam Almaliki 表示，联邦政府对澳大利亚复杂投资者测试的拟议修改可能会严重限制初创企业和创新领域的投资机会。 The proposed changes to Australia's sophisticated investor test by the federal government could significantly limit access to investment opportunities in startups and innovation, according to Sam Almaliki, founder of the Regional Angel Investor Network. 这些变化将年收入门槛从 25 万美元提高到 45 万美元，净资产门槛从 250 万美元提高到 450 万美元，这可能会阻碍创新，加剧投资的地理和性别差异，并将投资权力集中在较富裕的个人身上。 The changes would increase the thresholds for annual income from $250,000 to $450,000 and net assets from $2.5 million to $4.5 million, potentially hampering innovation, exacerbating geographic and gender disparity in investing, and concentrating investment power in wealthier individuals. Almaliki 建议实施由澳大利亚证券和投资委员会 (ASIC) 监督的基于教育的认证，这将使更有经验的个人能够投资澳大利亚初创企业，从而促进多元化和充满活力的投资环境。 Almaliki suggests implementing an education-based certification overseen by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which would enable more experienced individuals to invest in Australian startups, promoting a diverse and dynamic investment environment.
