How Geopolitical Shifts and Regulatory Considerations Are Redefining Silicon Valley Startups

How Geopolitical Shifts and Regulatory Considerations Are Redefining Silicon Valley Startups
 
The upcoming talk will explore how tech regulations and geopolitical factors are reshaping the business models of Silicon Valley startups. This discussion won’t focus on specific rules in areas such as export controls or the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFUIS), but rather on the evolving role of regulation and how it shapes startup strategies. This talk will cover how over the past few years, regulatory considerations have shifted dramatically—from being peripheral concerns to core business challenges. Issues like trade restrictions, investment screening, export control and data regulations now permeate every aspect of business, impacting investment decisions, product design, expansion strategies, and supply chains. Regulations have become dynamic forces that shape the business landscape in real-time. This talk will explore these transformative forces and their implications for growth, featuring candid discussions on topics like early-stage financing, corporate transactions, and supply chain strategies in the context of evolving geopolitical tensions.
