Emerging Technologies
AI-Driven Deal Sourcing & Due Diligence
AI and machine learning are increasingly being used to identify promising startups, analyze market trends, and streamline due diligence processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in venture capital.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) for Funding

Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC's New Private Fund Advisers Rules (2023)
The SEC adopted new rules requiring private fund advisers to provide investors with quarterly statements detailing fees, expenses, and performance, and to obtain annual audits for each private fund.
This policy increases transparency and reporting burdens for venture capital firms, potentially impacting operational costs and compliance efforts.
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022
The Inflation Reduction Act includes significant tax credits and incentives for clean energy and climate technology, aiming to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy.
This policy significantly boosts investment opportunities and de-risks climate tech startups, directly benefiting Toba Capital's focus on Climate Tech investments by creating a more favorable market environment.
PROPOSED Changes to HSR Filing Thresholds (Ongoing)
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) are proposing changes to the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act premerger notification requirements, which could lower thresholds for deals requiring review.
While primarily impacting larger M&A, potential lower thresholds could indirectly affect exit strategies for successful portfolio companies by increasing regulatory scrutiny on acquisitions, a key VC exit path.
