ACT members drive the innovation that powers our digital world. Each month, through our Member Monday series, we showcase these trailblazing small businesses and their cutting-edge achievements.
Around the world, governments are redefining how curated online marketplaces (COMs) operate. In practice, rules targeting COMs can require platforms to open access to distribution and payment systems in ways that limit how they manage transactions, vet integrations, or maintain security standards. This can increase small technology companies’ exposure to fraud and malicious actors while undermining customer trust in the very services they rely on to reach users. These policy decisions increasingly shape where investment flows and which companies can grow. For startups and small firms, regulatory clarity is closely tied to access to capital, as investors look for environments where the rules governing distributions, monetization, and compliance are stable and predictable over time. When obligations are uncertain or fragmented, risk increases, and capital becomes harder to secure. Clear, proportionate regulation allows founders to focus on building, expanding, and competing globally.
Take a scroll down Membership Lane to learn more about the companies leveraging COMs to scale across global borders, and why investment certainty depends on smart, balanced rules that support innovation rather than slow it down.
