Love this. Wish we could have gotten even remotely close to this level of clarity during my time at Microsoft or Google.
I remember drawing down a $2.5M credit line from SVB the day Lehman fell in 2008. A week later, with the market & the global economy spiraling out of control, SVBs then CEO Ken Wilcox met with me and a few other startup CEOs to reassure us the bank was there for us. This is sad.

After 25 years of building technology products & companies, I'm now taking a crack at applying my experience alongside one of my favorite VCs. I sat down with the @felicis team to talk about what drove this decision & what excites me about joining them: felicis.com/news/javier-so…
The new standard for quality assurance in AI powered products.
Great advice. The origin story of your product and company may be of interest to investors, but users and customers want to know what your product will do for them.

Much of the attention around ChatGPT/Bard/etc seems focused on the natural language response and its accuracy (or lack of it). Doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion about people's willingness to type natural language sentences into these things after years of typing keywords.
This is also the reason why many people, including myself, are so skeptical of this "X App" business that Musk keeps talking about. Product bundling aims for a Reese's Peanut Butter cup but often produces something more like a bar of chocolate jammed into a jar of peanut butter

Was curious to hear Gary Gorton's thoughts on SVB, and he does not disappoint. Argues transactional deposits should be insured. But also argues Banks assets should only be known to Bank examiners because if depositors didn't know what SVB owned, the run wouldn't have occurred (!)
The doomer discourse unfortunately risks sucking the oxygen out of the room for serious discussion on possibilities, harms, and mitigation of new techniques coming out of AI research.

Strongly believe one of the most under-discussed aspects of company building is the process of picking which problem to solve. @joshk calls it, "The Art of the Pick". Yes, you can pivot, but so much time & money can be saved with a more rigorous approach to this process.
And 9 times out of 10 the real reason none of that stuff has been addressed before was simply because it was seen as too hard to be worth the effort. Either they start realising its worth the effort, or no 6 month consultancy was gonna change their mind.
And you record it. Or you just take everything on that list. And you go: That's your trust problem right there. However painful it is to your bottom line. However politically tough it is. However complex the problem: Fix that shit. Or you don't have a company anymore.
Silicon Valley Bank’s shareholders and executives lose it all, as they should. Depositors in good faith, however, should recover and have access to their deposits in order to meet their payrolls, pay their suppliers, and to prevent contagion.
As is @benchmark we remain committed to supporting this vital institution in whatever constructive form emerges
.@svangel and I are proud to join this group of investors supporting SVB for a timely resumption of business
In addition to the firms listed here (of which @Redpoint is one) I have spoken to many many other venture firms that share the sentiment and are committed to supporting a new SVB.
Several VC leaders met today to discuss the aftermath of SVB’s downfall. This is a joint statement from all of us. @Accel @altcap @BCapitalGroup @generalcatalyst @eladgil @GreylockVC @khoslaventures @kleinerperkins @lightspeedvp @MayfieldFund @Redpoint @RibbitCapital @upfrontvc
People. Bitcoin does not solve banking or bank runs. Bitcoin can handle 7 transactions per second. If 300 million Americans wanted to do one Bitcoin transaction each it would take 496 days.
As a VC, I’ve graced Twitter with my expertise on epidemiology, international relations, and even how to get a cargo ship unstuck from a canal. Today, I read the first few lines from a Wikipedia page about how banks work and boy do I have a lot to say. SVB 🧵 👇👇 1/729
The inevitable conclusion of this whole thing is that Bank of America or JPM is going to make a massive play into the startup place to become the "safe banks". Next 2 weeks are going to be spicy
