The future of venture capital

• Today, capital is essential to grow a company,
not necessarily to start it
• Tomorrow, better fund performance and returns
to LPs
• Venture Capital continues to fuel innovation in a
way unlike any other asset class
The Washington Environment

• Gridlock: Last year, Congress passed only 57
bills that got the President’s signature and
became law – lowest in history
• The obvious right thing to do is often widely
supported by elected officials, but it gets tangled
with other issues
• Immigration
• Tax Reform
• NVCA can and does make a difference
In Summary...
• Venture capital had a great 2013 and 2014 will
likely be even better
• Venture capital continues to play an important
role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem
• Washington is messy but necessary for the
innovation economy
