Thank you to all the venture capitalists and venture-backed CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs that responded to our recent call to actions urging lawmakers to recognize the critical role that venture capital has played in the US economy and retain a long term capital gains tax incentive for venture capital carried interest.
The first call to action, launched at the NVCA Annual Meeting on May 5th, garnered more than 1700 signatures from venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and other venture ecosystem stakeholders. The second call to action, designed to show Congress the support for our position from the entrepreneurial community, garnered more than 1400 signatures – all collected in a short 24 hours.
As stated in recent member alerts, the discussions around carried interest remain fluid.
