New Angel Investment Incentive Supports Missouri Startups

Missouri is expanding support for early-stage, technology-based companies through the new Missouri Angel Investment Incentive, established through House Bill Nos. 3231 and 2531 during the 2026 legislative session. Starting January 1, 2027, the program provides state entrepreneurial tax credits to permitted investors who make cash investments in the securities of qualified Missouri businesses. Investors may receive tax credits ranging from 40% to 60% depending on the location of the qualified business, including enhanced incentives for investments in rural counties and certified Missouri Innovation Zones.
