How about making bootstrapping businesses easier and providing preferable tax strategies floor small businesses? That would show down venture capital backed companies demanding a public offering and short term profit motives over sustainable businesses.

Or opening up platforms to drive increased competition?

Or providing sponsorship for open standards so users get more choice in the market instead of relying on entrenched large companies?
