Peste 100 de VC, investitorii își exprimă solidaritatea cu Silicon Valley Bank

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.

Mai mulți lideri VC s-au întâlnit astăzi pentru a discuta despre consecințele căderii SVB. Aceasta este o declarație comună din partea noastră a tuturor. @Accel @altcap @BCapitalGroup @generalcatalyst @eladgil @GreylockVC @khoslavventures @kleinerperkins @lightspeedvp @MayfieldFund @Redpoint @RibbitCapital @upfrontvc pic.twitter.com/7OtHq0zwT1

Un grup de investitori pentru firme de profil s-a întâlnit la Zoom într-o serie de întâlniri, a dezvăluit Bloomberg raportează. Hemant Taneja, CEO-ul General Catalyst, a dezvăluit inițial declarația comună a mai multor capitaluri de risc, care arată sprijinul pentru bancă. S-a citit:

„În cazul în care SVB ar fi achiziționat și capitalizat corespunzător, ne-am sprijini ferm și am încuraja companiile noastre din portofoliu să reia relațiile bancare cu acestea.”

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

Acum au semnat aproximativ 2800 de fondatori care au peste 180,000 de angajați.

Aproximativ 44% dintre ei au sediul în afara Californiei.

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.

Ore după moneda USD (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.
