In 2026, the relationship between startups & government has fundamentally changed. Regulation is no longer a side issue: it shapes markets, creates winners, & determines how quickly new technologies can scale. For founders building in education, healthcare, fintech, AI, & beyond, understanding policy has become as important as understanding product.
Join Joseph Connor, CEO of Odyssey & Bradley Tusk, CEO of Tusk Ventures for a candid conversation on what it takes to build & grow in this new environment.
Drawing from Odysseys experience helping families access education funding through state-led ESA programs, theyll unpack the real strategies founders need to navigate regulation, unlock new markets, & turn policy shifts into competitive advantage.
This discussion will explore:
- Why the best startup opportunities increasingly sit inside regulated industries
- How founders can treat government as a customer, partner, or distribution channel
- What policy signals smart companies should be tracking in 2026
- How to build trust while moving fast in high-stakes markets
- Why the next generation of winning companies may come from sectors others avoid
For founders, investors, & operators, this is a conversation about where innovation is headed next, & how to stay ahead of it.
This event is a part of #NYTechWeeka week of events hosted by VCs & startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com." data-next-head="
