💸 How founders should approach fundraising today with @jheltzer, MP @OriginVentures: - Weigh capital costs against missed opportunities - Get strong commitments from current investors to show support - Don't focus only on the best terms/the 1st commitment Full episode below 👇

Depositor support isn't a bailout, and likely wouldn't cost taxpayers a penny. Looking forward to seeing what Ro says tomorrow AM on Face the Nation.
I made a strong case to Treasury & WH that best case scenario is a buyer so depositors are made whole, workers get paid & stay employed & clients don’t disrupt services. Buyer should have strict capital requirements & stress & liquidity tests. This wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime.

There's risk that with Silicon Valley in the name, the impact is viewed too narrowly. This is about biotech jobs in Boston; healthcare in Houston; fintech in Philly; software in Seattle. Banking system requires confidence; companies require the capital. 100% deposits 3/13 #SVB

100% of deposits available on 3/13 – at Park City, UT
The Treasury Department and FDIC must communicate loudly and clearly that depositors will be protected. The investors and executives of SBV should bear risk and lose. But this should not mean that workers go without paychecks on Monday or small businesses collapse.

100% of deposits, available on Monday. That's what saves LOTS of jobs across the country. Every state has LOTS of people employed by impacted companies, and indirect impact is immense. #100%on3/13 #SVBCrash
