How do I shape the rules of the road for my startup?

Each fall and spring, the federal government publishes its ongoing regulatory activity. Ok, so this may not be what you're talking about at the poker table but ... the agenda provides incredibly strong insights into potential rules arising - and, yes, there is a real opportunity for startups to comment and get involved in the process of shaping their market landscape. futureland believes investors and companies need to closely observe these trends, as this potential regulation can create a substantial risk, or even an opportunity for a new business model. 

Here is a chart of the current regulatory documents at departments within the federal government. Quantity is not the only important measure- a single rule such as Fuel Economy Standards could impact billions of dollars in the market. However, the outlook provides a clear window into the most active government agencies, and their ethos.
