Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC Climate Disclosure Rules (2024)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized rules in 2024 requiring public companies to disclose certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports, including greenhouse gas emissions.
While primarily for public companies, these rules will influence investor due diligence, potentially requiring startups to demonstrate ESG compliance or risk assessment earlier, affecting their attractiveness for future funding rounds.
Proposed SEC Rules for Private Fund Advisers (2022)
The SEC proposed new rules in 2022 aimed at increasing transparency and investor protection in the private funds market, including requirements for quarterly statements, annual audits, and restrictions on preferential treatment.
These rules, if finalized, could increase compliance burdens and costs for venture capital firms and venture studios, potentially affecting the terms and operational transparency of their investment vehicles.
Biden Administration's Executive Order on AI (2023)
President Biden's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (2023) sets new standards for AI safety and security, promotes innovation, and protects privacy.
This order will likely lead to increased scrutiny and potential future regulations on AI development, influencing how Conduit Venture Labs' AI-focused portfolio companies build, deploy, and ensure the ethical use of their technologies.
