Khosla Ventures has invested in State Affairs, a company specializing in politics and policy data, according to recent announcements.
The investment signals a growing institutional reliance on high-fidelity data and artificial intelligence to manage the complexities of the regulatory economy. As governments shift policies rapidly, the ability to track legislative changes in real time has become a critical competitive advantage for large organizations.
State Affairs has raised a total of $70 million [1] in funding. The company's fundraising efforts were highlighted in a press release dated July 14, 2026 [2]. The firm provides exclusive reporting and data gathering capabilities designed to assist institutions in navigating the policy landscape.
Khosla Ventures Managing Director Keith Rabois and State Affairs CEO Evan Burns discussed the partnership on the Bloomberg Television program "The Close". The collaboration focuses on utilizing the company's AI capabilities to streamline how entities monitor and respond to regulatory shifts.
By combining traditional reporting with modern data science, State Affairs aims to reduce the friction associated with government compliance and policy forecasting. This approach allows clients to move beyond static reports and toward dynamic, data-driven decision making, a shift that Rabois and Burns said during their appearance.
“State Affairs has raised a total of $70 million [1] in funding.”
This investment reflects a broader trend of 'politech'—the intersection of political intelligence and venture capital. By applying AI to policy tracking, firms are attempting to turn the often unpredictable nature of government regulation into a quantifiable risk management metric for the private sector.
