Impactful Policy Frameworks
JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) 2.0 (Proposed Amendments)
While the original JOBS Act of 2012 eased regulations for small businesses to raise capital, proposed amendments (often discussed in relation to 2.0 or further refinements) aim to expand access to capital markets, potentially by increasing Reg CF and Reg A+ limits and simplifying compliance.
This policy could significantly increase the pool of investable startups for VCs by making it easier for them to raise initial capital, potentially leading to more deal flow and diversified portfolios.
SEC Climate Disclosure Rule (2024)
The SEC's new rule mandates that public companies disclose climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions, aimed at providing investors with consistent, comparable, and reliable information.
This rule will indirectly impact the venture capital industry by increasing the due diligence burden for VCs investing in companies that may eventually go public, requiring assessment of climate-related risks and sustainability metrics.
Consumer Data Protection Laws (e.g., CPRA in California, 2023)
Laws like the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), effective January 1, 2023, enhance consumer data privacy rights, including rights to correction and opt-out of data sharing, and establish a new enforcement agency.
Startups, particularly those in data-intensive sectors, face increased compliance costs and potential limitations on data utilization, which VCs must consider when evaluating investment opportunities and supporting portfolio companies' growth strategies.
