Carta’s venture capital regulatory playbook gives fund managers a comprehensive guide to the current state of private market regulation.

The private market regulatory landscape is evolving. Even the most experienced fund managers have a hard time keeping up with the pace of change. While the SEC’s regulatory posture toward private markets may be shifting under the new administration, VC funds and their portfolio companies still have a web of compliance obligations to navigate that will impact how they raise and deploy capital.

But this shift in regulatory posture also brings opportunity to unlock greater access to capital and broaden the ecosystem. 

Carta’s Policy Weekly newsletter regularly reports on these regulatory developments. But we’ve heard from funds that it would be even more helpful to have a full readout on the state of the venture capital regulatory landscape—a policy handbook that they could consult as needed. So we created one.
