Project Blueprint — SV Angel

SV Angel’s September 14 announcement puts Jay Carney in charge of public policy and communications and launches Project Blueprint. The named task is to connect portfolio founders with policymakers. A venture firm’s network is being offered as a policy service, with a specific person assigned to run it.

The initiative page identifies AI risk, international competition, workforce and economic effects, and energy infrastructure as the areas of engagement. That makes the intended route inspectable: investment relationships supply a constituency; professional intermediaries seek access; officials retain public decision rights. Calling itself a bridge is the firm’s proposition, not evidence that officials have delegated those rights.

The pages do not disclose a project budget, binding membership rules or achieved legislative outcome. Carney’s professional biography is relevant to the advertised service but does not prove the effectiveness of each relationship. The dated news index establishes a September 14 announcement, not its hour. This is newly acquired material; it is not presented as a proven post-noon launch.

Actual meeting records, lobbying disclosures, submitted text and later official decisions could show what moved through this route. Until then, the supported relationship is organized access-seeking, not policy capture.
