Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) (Proposed)
This proposed federal antitrust legislation aims to prevent dominant online platforms from unfairly preferencing their own products and services over those of rivals.
If enacted, this could impact how Salesforce Ventures' portfolio companies, particularly those integrating deeply with Salesforce's platform, navigate competition and market access, potentially requiring adjustments to partnership strategies.
Artificial Intelligence Act (EU) (Proposed, expected 2024)
Though an EU regulation, its extraterritorial reach means it will likely set a global standard for AI governance, classifying AI systems by risk level and imposing obligations on providers and users.
This policy will significantly influence the development and deployment of AI solutions by Salesforce Ventures' portfolio companies, particularly those with global aspirations, requiring adherence to strict ethical and safety guidelines.
SEC Cyber-security Disclosure Rules (2023)
The SEC finalized rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within four business days and provide annual disclosures about their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
While primarily for public companies, this pushes cybersecurity best practices down to private companies, meaning Salesforce Ventures' portfolio companies will face increased scrutiny and pressure to robustly manage and disclose cybersecurity risks, potentially influencing due diligence and valuation.
