Support for the Clarity Act continues to grow.
The National Venture Capital Association (@NVCA), which empowers the next generation of American companies and advocates for the U.S. entrepreneurial ecosystem, is urging the Senate to pass the Clarity Act.
Regulatory clarity is essential to supporting startups, attracting investment, and ensuring the United States remains the best place to build the next generation of financial technology companies. 👇
The U.S. can't lead the future of finance without rules of the road.
NVCA is urging Senate leadership to find bipartisan alignment for the CLARITY Act. The legislation would establish clear rules for digital assets, strengthen consumer protections, and help maintain American leadership in the digital assets sector.
For VC-backed startups building the next generation of financial technology, regulatory clarity is essential for investment, growth, and U.S. competitiveness.
It's time to work across the aisle to finalize the CLARITY Act.

The SEC and orgs like @nvca are instrumental got us to work together to reduce headwinds to investing. It may feel like a black box but encourage everyone to try to get involved.
NVCA Board Member @AlyssaJoyJaffee (@7wireventures) brilliantly represented the venture community today at the @SECGov's Small Business Forum, joining a panel on “Investing in Innovation: Supporting Growth-Stage Companies.”
Alyssa highlighted how smart policy, including advancing the INVEST Act, can strengthen pathways for growth-stage companies and expand access to capital for the next generation of innovators.
We appreciate Alyssa’s leadership and the SEC’s continued engagement on policies that support entrepreneurship, innovation, and long-term economic growth.

.@NVCA is calling on President Trump & Sec. Lutnick to exempt startups from the new $100K H-1B visa fee and create a Startup Visa to attract global entrepreneurial talent. Immigrant founders built 60%+ of U.S. unicorns. Let’s keep that innovation here!

My husband, co-founder, and many of the founders I've backed over the years are immigrants to the US. We must continue to make the US the best place for entrepreneurs to build, which means providing them a path to get here in the first place.
Immigrant entrepreneurs have long fueled America’s innovation economy:
📷 64% of U.S. “unicorns” were founded or co-founded by immigrants.
📷 46% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.
📷 A Startup Visa could create over 3 million new American jobs in the next decade.
America’s strength in innovation depends on attracting the world’s best founders.
That’s why @nvca is urging the Administration to establish a Startup Visa—so foreign-born entrepreneurs can build the next generation of high-growth companies here in the U.S.
A Startup Visa would:
✅ Create up to 3 million new American jobs
✅ Strengthen U.S. competitiveness and national security
✅ Keep innovation and investment in the U.S.

So many great American tech companies have been founded by immigrants. Especially as H1Bs get scarcer, a startup visa would ensure that the next generation of companies are built here too, creating more jobs and more value in the US.

I've been a mentor at @NVCA VC University for many years. This interview encapsulates what I tell the early career and aspiring VCs over the course of our 1:1 meetings. It covers how to break into venture, what is innate and what can be learned, how to win deals early in your career, how to spot a good team, what can and can't be speedrun in your career and how to find a mentor, as well as some stories from how I got into venture, and what led to @lightspeedvp investments in @Snapchat and @Affirm.
