Great PR and more importantly it’s a considerate message to the Glide community. You guys really can’t help but nail it, can you. Way to go.

Yeah it makes you wonder: as a business, does it make sense to mitigate risk and have multiple bank accounts. It’s crazy that we’ve come to this but I guess it’s part of risk management.

I think the problem is that SVB was not very diversified in their clients…most of which were tech startups and venture capitalists. That’s a pretty high risk market on their part. Plus I think they made some unwise investments in bonds. I think most banks would not be so hyper focused on a certain type of clientele and would be a little more diversified.

And if it’s one thing I learned about this forum, is that @Jeff_Hager has a confidence rate of 99.9%…so must be true!
