Debrief et résumé de ce matin #siliconvalley et #sociologie : en gros rien de nouveau sous le soleil #technosolutionnisme #venturecapitalist #idéologie Ce qui m'a frappé c'est de voir a quel point la Silicon Halley imprime sa marque sur le monde par ses codes. Cette idée paradoxale d'exprimer sa différence, sa singularité via des formats très codifiés et des règles clairement énoncés. Tous unique donc tous pareil ! 1/2

"The seizure of Silicon Valley Bank by regulators Friday morning shows how brittle financial institutions can be in the digital age. The downfall of the Valley institution, which has been called “the backbone of the startup economy,” was caused by a good old-fashioned bank run, but one that ran at internet speed.

The run began on Thursday, when a powerful Silicon Valley VC—Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund—began advising its portfolio companies to withdraw their money from SVB. Other VCs soon caught wind of the advisory and began advising their own portfolio companies to withdraw funds from SVB. As the withdrawals accelerated, the bank began taking steps to stem the tide and preserve its solvency—just like George Bailey did in the 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life.

SVB Financial Group CEO Greg Becker seemed to be reading from director Frank Capra’s script when he uttered the fateful words “stay calm” during a Thursday conference call with customers, as fears over the bank’s solvency grew. Those words probably only increased depositors’ anxieties. And the withdrawals likely continued to snowball. #digital #startup #money #economy #bank #bankruptcy #vc #venturecapital #venturecapitalist #banking #siliconvalley #svb

Because the #SV #VentureCapitalist mind-set disfavors remote work, and because the prince insisted we run #NaturalMinds engineering like a scif, we had to hire people both desperate and cheap enough to travel across country to be poorly paid for a 3 to 6 month contract. They didn't all come from prisons, but in #SiliconValley there are recruiting firms that specialize in such labor abuse.

Come watch Jon Duren and me in our new video series called Startup Lantern. It’s a show that gives tips to budding tech entrepreneurs, and the first episode is titled “The Three P’s of VCs” #vc #venturecapital #venturecapitalist #cybersecurity #startups https://youtu.be/-O2kWUoMJJY
