I considered for a moment bailing on the dawn patrol skin this morning...then I listened to the other voice that reminded me to keep doing hard things. a note on aging and doing hard things...don't stop doing hard things. if you stop, then you truly get "old"

Heartbreaking day. To my friends and colleagues at #SVB. Thanks for your support over the years and all the way to the end today. I am truly sorry. To the startups and everyone impacted, let’s hope we have resolution over the weekend beyond our FDIC protection.

I won’t let you politicize a bank run. It’s simple: the government must step in. Build confidence. Save depositors. Shareholders go to zero. I don’t give a damn which industry. All the rest of this is NOISE.

Good explanation of three things: the difference between a “bailout” of equity holders vs protection for depositors; the nationwide impact on jobs and ripple effects; and the importance of confidence in our fractional banking system.

What Yellen should have said: 1. No bailout for SVB stockholders/bond holders. 2. But deposits are safe—not just at SVB but at all regional banks. You can trust the US banking system. 3. We will backstop it if necessary to prevent contagion. We will defend the US banking system.

100% and not surprising to see Rep. Ro Khanna speaking clearly and frankly on this. if deposits at SVB aren't made whole by Monday there will be significant reprocusions across the economy (more bank failures, furloughs, etc).

Nothing like a crisis to sort out those with character and those without. We watched. We learned. We will learn more as this gets pulled apart.

This was not a bailout. During the GFC, the gov’t injected taxpayer money in the form of preferred stock into banks. Bondholders were protected and shareholders were diluted to varying degrees. Taxpayer money was put at great risk. Many people who screwed up suffered minimal to

So focused on the crisis this weekend, I had no idea the clocks changed until someone told me this morning 🤦‍♂️ -- I thought the exhaustion was b/c of the stress

When I talk to more established startups, one of the first things I want to know, after asking about the growth rate and whether they're profitable, is whether the founders still have board control. I'm more optimistic about the company when the answer is yes.
