Intro

This page is to aid in the research for Women in Entrepreneurship (Issue Brief)

Research

As of right now, it seems that there is very little formal information about Trump's policies on VC. The Whitehouse.gov website doesn't mention it and none of his executive orders pertain to VC or women directly.

Assorted Sources

Here are some links to information with summaries below

NVCA Outlines Key Policy Priorities in Letter to Donald Trump: http://nvca.org/pressreleases/nvca-outlines-key-policies-priorities-letter-donald-trump/

  • Young companies, many of them venture-backed, create an average of 3 million new jobs a year and have been responsible for almost all net new job creation in the United States in the last forty years. In addition, venture capital has backed nearly half of all companies that have gone public since 1974, which have collectively been responsible for 85 percent of R&D investment during this period. In short, while a small industry by relative standards, venture capital is mighty in its outsized role in supporting economic activity and creating growth and economic opportunity.
  • Suggestions:
    • Make American capital markets work for small capitalization companies.
    • Encourage talented immigrants to build or work at American startups.
    • Make life-saving medical innovation a reality.
    • Increase basic research investment and encourage technology commercialization.
    • Support technology policy to create twenty-first century jobs.
    • Crack down on abusive patent litigation, but preserve startups
    • Reform the regulatory state to bolster startup activity.
    • Partner with states to spread startups in areas of economic distress.
