The Power of Focus: Founding partner Tom Villeneuve reflects on the last 30 years
A lot of things (maybe most things) about our business and the ECVC field have changed dramatically since we started the firm thirty years ago. It’s quite striking. At that time, the Internet was still in its infancy and biotech was still a toddler. Software was delivered almost exclusively on floppy discs and CDs for on-prem deployment; the closest thing to SaaS was wonky timesharing. Billion-dollar VC funds were unheard of. The precursors of GPUs were brand new and pretty much limited to graphics cards for video games. AI and smartphones weren’t in the picture, except as science projects and fleeting commercial failures.

Since taking the reins in April 2025, SEC Chair Paul Atkins has often repeated that “it is a new day at the SEC.” The latest iteration (Spring 2025) of the SEC’s rulemaking agenda released today — the first under Atkins’s leadership and one that, in his words, heralds a return to the SEC’s core mission with a “renewed focus on supporting innovation, capital formation, market efficiency and investor protection” — reflects this new reality, marking a significant reset of the agency’s policy priorities and previewing sweeping, broadly deregulatory changes in store.
