absolute lomarf at being dependent on a bank as a company and not choosing one of several systemically important banks to ensure you always have the implicit backing of the US government.

idiots.

to be fair to the silicon valley nerds i think a lot of people in charge of the banking system also kind of fail to realize that they are running a very artificial public utility. almost like there is a common theme of libertarian idiocy running through the groups.

Why would start ups bank with SVB instead of a normal bank? It seems like loads more risk but what do you get in exchange?

the FDIC also took receivership directly without announcing that another bank would be assuming the deposits of the failed bank. they really don't like to do that.
