Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC's Proposed Climate-Related Disclosures (2022)
The SEC's proposed rule, 'The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors,' mandates public companies to disclose extensive climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports.
This policy will indirectly impact early-stage VC by influencing larger public companies' investment decisions and potentially driving demand for sustainable tech solutions within RSCM's focus areas, especially B2B SaaS and AI for ESG.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Open Banking Initiatives (Ongoing)
The CFPB is actively working on rules under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act to give consumers more control over their financial data, promoting 'open banking' and data portability.
This initiative will significantly benefit FinTech startups by increasing access to consumer financial data, fostering innovation in new financial products and services, and enabling new business models for RSCM's FinTech portfolio companies.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) (2023)
NIST released AI RMF 1.0, a voluntary framework designed to help organizations manage the risks associated with artificial intelligence, promoting trustworthy and responsible AI development.
This framework will guide AI/ML startups in developing ethical and safe AI systems, potentially influencing investor due diligence and promoting best practices, making RSCM's AI investments more resilient and market-ready.
