Improving Capital Allocation for Newcomers Act of 2025
Introduced Jul 16, 2025 by Rep. William R. Timmons
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill expands qualification requirements for venture capital funds to include investment firms with more owners and capital contributions. Venture capital funds are exempt from certain regulations applicable to other investment firms, including those related to filings, audits, and restricted communications with investors. Currently, an investment firm qualifies as a venture capital fund if, among other requirements (1) the fund's securities are owned by 250 persons or less, and (2) the fund has $10 million or less in aggregate capital contributions and uncalled committed capital. The bill increases these amounts to 2,000 persons and $150 million, respectively.
