Posts - Bill - HR 4429 Developing and Empowering our Aspiring Leaders Act of 2025
house 07/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the rules that define what counts as a qualifying investment for venture capital funds, so that both equity in portfolio companies and investments in other venture capital funds are included. This change aims to clarify the registration exemptions for venture capital advisers and support more flexible investment strategies.

It's not radical, just reform-minded—equity securities and fund investments deserve clearer guidelines in today’s market.

Finally, a bill that loosens the shackles on innovative startups instead of squeezing them dry for big money’s benefit.

Tweaking definitions is a fine line—new rules could spark growth, or just add another twist in red tape.
