A több mint 100 kockázatitőke-befektető szolidaritását fejezi ki a Silicon Valley Bankkal

As the 40-year-old banking institution, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), winds down operations, numerous venture capitalists (VCs) and investors joined hands and decided to cushion the impact in case the bank “were to be purchased and appropriately capitalized.”

Approximately 125 VCs and investors signed a statement supporting SVB to limit the fallout of the bank’s collapse and the subsequent impact on tech companies. The venture firms included Sequoia Capital and General Catalyst.

A nagy horderejű cégek befektetőinek egy csoportja találkozott a Zoom-on keresztül egy sor találkozón, nyilvánosságra hozta a Bloomberg jelentést. Hemant Taneja, a General Catalyst vezérigazgatója kezdetben felfedte több kockázatitőke közös nyilatkozatát, amely a bank támogatását fejezte ki. Ez állt rajta:

„Abban az esetben, ha az SVB-t megvásárolnák és megfelelően tőkésítenék, határozottan támogatnánk, és arra ösztönöznénk portfólióvállalatainkat, hogy újítsák fel banki kapcsolataikat velük.”

In parallel, startup incubator Y Combinator posted a petition demanding “depositors to be made whole, and for regulation to prevent this catastrophe.”

According to Y Combinator CEO Gary Tan, the petition — directed toward regulators including United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation chairman Martin Gruenberg — scored signatures from roughly 2,800 founders and 180,000 employees at the time of writing.

“Everyone understands that we have a role to play in trying to calm the situation,” Taneja told Bloomberg. However, disputing this drive to save SVB, prominent Indian entrepreneur Ashneer Grover reminded Taneja that banks don’t get saved by passing bureaucratic, United Nations-type joint resolutions — taking a dig at the mindset of pouring money on a problem in the hopes of fixing it. “It requires intent and balls of steel!” he concluded.

Órákkal az USD érme után (USDC) lost its peg to the U.S. dollar, unconfirmed reports about a resolution momentarily brought back the token’s prices to nearly $1.

Although the reports are currently unverified, multiple sources confirm that many different paths to resolution are in the works and that depositors will get back “at least 50% of their deposits” in the coming week.
