“For too long, D.C. has created barriers for startups and emerging companies. It’s time to level the playing field and ensure that Little Tech – the next generation of builders – gets a fair shot. As a policy maker, I promoted solutions that removed bureaucratic barriers for American entrepreneurs. At [a16z] I am eager to continue that work and ensure policymakers understand why innovation needs room to thrive,” McHenry wrote.

McHenry spent the last few years of his 20-year career in Congress advocating for the crypto industry and building a foundation for a long-awaited crypto regulatory framework. He co-sponsored the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) — a market structure bill that, if passed, would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) more power to oversee the crypto industry.
