Impactful Policy Frameworks
Jobs Act 3.0 (Proposed Amendments to JOBS Act of 2012)
While not a single act, ongoing discussions and proposed amendments (e.g., in 2023) aim to further democratize capital formation for small businesses and startups by potentially easing regulations around crowdfunding and private placements.
This could expand the pool of potential investors for startups in Tech Ranch's programs and offer more flexible fundraising avenues, attracting a broader range of ventures.
SEC's New Rules for Private Fund Advisers (2023)
The SEC adopted new rules requiring private fund advisers to provide investors with quarterly statements, conduct annual audits, and obtain fairness opinions for adviser-led secondary transactions, aimed at increasing transparency and investor protection.
These rules will increase compliance burdens for venture capital funds that Tech Ranch's startups might seek investment from, potentially influencing fund structures and investment timelines.
CHIPS and Science Act (2022)
This bipartisan act provides significant federal funding for semiconductor manufacturing, scientific research, and workforce development in critical technology areas, aiming to boost US competitiveness.
The act could spur innovation and investment in specific tech sectors, potentially increasing the number of startups seeking acceleration in these areas and aligning with Tech Ranch's focus on technology-driven ventures.
