Reflections on a Game-Changing Discussion at DC Startup & Tech Week (Formerly DC Startup Week)! Last week, Outpost Ventures hosted a roundtable on "The Future of U.S. Economic Strategy: Pros and Cons of Establishing a Sovereign Wealth Fund". The roundtable was comprised of some of the brightest minds in finance, policy, and tech innovation, where we took a deep dive into the potential and challenges of creating a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund (#SWF). Here's what we explored: 🔹 Opportunities for Future Generations: How an SWF could support future economic growth and innovation. 🔹 Public Finance Perspectives: Balancing risks and rewards in adopting a new strategy for national wealth. 🔹 Impact on Tech Innovation: How strategic investment can drive sustainable tech development. We’d like to thank everyone again who contributed their insights and expertise. This discussion could truly shape the future of U.S. economic strategy, and we’re thrilled to see where it takes us. If you’re interested in connecting or continuing the dialogue, let’s keep the momentum going—reach out to Dave Harden at dave@outpostventures.com.
