Thanks for the AMA.

Recent change to H1B allow organizations that conduct research "as a fundamental activity" to be eligible for cap exemption status. Can you kindly share your opinion on this?

Do the startups you work with fit this criteria?

I don't think this has really expanded the organizations that qualify legally for cap exempt status (we essentially argued this before) but rather signifies a greater openness/flexibility on the part of USCIS to approve organizations as cap exempt organizations. Query, however, whether this openness/flexibility will continue.
