Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) (Proposed, 2023)
While not yet enacted, this bipartisan bill aims to prevent dominant online platforms from unfairly preferencing their own products and services over those of rivals, particularly impacting how B2B SaaS solutions might integrate with or leverage large platform ecosystems.
This could create a more level playing field for B2B SaaS startups, fostering competition and potentially increasing demand for independent software solutions that don't rely on or compete with 'big tech' services.
National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020
This act established a national strategy for artificial intelligence, promoting research and development, fostering public-private partnerships, and developing a skilled AI workforce.
This policy stimulates the growth of AI innovation and talent within the US, directly benefiting StartFast Ventures by increasing the number and quality of AI-driven B2B SaaS startups seeking investment.
SECURE Act 2.0 (2022)
While primarily focused on retirement savings, this act includes provisions that could affect venture capital funds and their limited partners, such as changes to tax implications for certain investment vehicles.
Changes in tax regulations or investment rules for institutional investors could influence capital allocation towards VC funds, potentially impacting StartFast Ventures' fundraising efforts from RIAs.
