# Congress, Compliance & Venture Capital: A Fund Manager's Guide to the Shifting Policy Landscape

Policy is a driving force that shapes the private capital ecosystem. From capital access to AI, the Trump administration is shifting the regulatory agenda in ways that open new opportunities for private fund managers and the companies they support. At the same time, innovation is driving technological change that will impact everything from fund operations to investment strategy.

In this recording, you'll hear directly from a senior policymaker driving the debate around capital formation and AI on the Hill, as well as policy experts on how the current environment can impact fund managers and their portfolio companies.

We cover:

- How capital formation efforts in Congress, including the INVEST Act, could expand opportunities for founders and fund managers
- How the SEC's agenda and shifting regulatory posture could impact fund operations, and the growing role of the states
- The evolving political landscape around AI and what fund managers should be watching
