2024 trends in venture capital

Taxing times for venture capital

In the latest PitchBook-NCVA Venture Monitor report, Heather Gates, Audit & Assurance Private Growth Leader, and Gordon Perl, Business Tax Partner, discuss the importance of building multiple strategies for potential new tax policies that may occur after the election. We’ve summarized a few key takeaways from the article below.<br><br>Three things to know now:

Post-election, private financial markets should prepare for possible changes that could impact both individual and corporate taxation.

Startups face financial strain due to new rules requiring R&D costs to be capitalized over time rather than expensed immediately, affecting cash flow and growth.

VCs and startups should conduct “if-then” analyses to prepare for various tax outcomes, ensuring they remain agile and ready to adapt post-election.
