Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC Climate Disclosure Rule (2024)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized rules in March 2024 requiring public companies to disclose certain climate-related information in their annual reports and registration statements.
This policy will indirectly impact venture capital firms by increasing the reporting burden and due diligence requirements for their portfolio companies considering or preparing for public listing, influencing investment criteria.
CHIPS and Science Act (2022)
The CHIPS and Science Act, signed into law in August 2022, provides significant federal funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors and other advanced technologies.
This act creates a more favorable investment environment for venture capital in semiconductor and related deep tech startups within the U.S., driving innovation and potentially higher returns.
America COMPETES Act (2022)
The America COMPETES Act of 2022 aims to increase U.S. competitiveness in science, research, and innovation, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology.
This legislation encourages more venture capital investment into early-stage research and development companies in critical technology sectors, aligning with SBIG's focus on innovation.
