startups and has been instrumental to the growth of the venture capital\u2013backed innovation economy in the U.S. It can be a life-changing tax benefit for small business owners.<\/p>\n<p

including the five-year holding commitment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Watch the recording of Carta CEO, Henry Ward, along with Senior VP, Mike Wu, policy expert, Amy Miller, and Alternativ Wealth
