    Tangible assets will always be a far better investment, numbers on a screen or a sheet of paper are jubject to being erased with a keystroke or paper shredder.

    Sounds like this guy will be able to swoop in and ask for … idk 25% of one of these small startups – ‘hey, i am your new bank, how much do you need for payroll again? It is Friday, right?’ Rich get richer.

      The fed has an obligation to apply the law to function. If they don’t, we’ll go back to 1930 economic meltdown.

    allowing marijuana dispensaries to actually utilize banks would go a long way towards creating monetary circulation. Instead of forcing them to literally bury their money in the back yard for safe keeping. Absurd, and dangerous.

      Banks would just take that money and rehypothecate it too.

    This guy is excellent. Did SVB contact Blackrock? I am not fully buying this bond business. The bank was started in 1983 when interest rates were over 10%. Let us see derivative and property portfolio leverage. Would not be surprised if Evergreen and Vulture fund were invested in by SVB. Sad story.

    • Edsel Greaves

      SVB paid out employee bonuses and the CEO went on the run literally a day before the feds swooped in. What a load of crock. It’s such an obvious collusion. The government wants tech assets so they can continue their WEF 2030 Agenda, and now anyone who wants to start a tech company has to go through them instead of private entrepreneurship.

    The bank that catered 97% of its customer base to rich tech startups are shocked when they are the first run the bank? Did it ever occur to them to diversify? Do they know why bigger banks have most of their depositors well under the FDIC limit? Way less likely for Becky to run the bank for her $1500.

    I hope they get a bailout, was a great bank and not a failure due to market manipulation or scammers like in 2008.

    All this was due to three things.

    1. Fed raising rates causing investors to not want to fund anymore.
    2. SVB management going big on long term treasuries over short term.
    3. VCs panicking over a fire that was not there when SVB was willing to take a $2B loss now and easily absorb it & raise capital to fund the clients while VCs wait it out.

    A bank failed when it should not have. Had they been corrupt like JPM and Goldman??? I’d say he’ll no, but clients would flock back to SVB, VCs would eventually come back long term. Literally a $20B bailout would do WAY more good here than say $20B to Ukraine that is doing nothing good. SVB bailout saves tens of thousands of jobs that flow back into the economy.

    SVB doesn’t own politicians though. And Becker wasn’t a horrible CEO,,he mad a few bad decisions yes. Everyone does that. But for over a year and just recently saw financials and asked about the MBS thing and were very much ok with it.

    I’m reading in several places that Peter Thiel may have caused this bank run, inadvertently or otherwise, by calling around those he knew where invested in the bank and urged them to pull all deposits. I know that he’s radical in his beliefs and seemingly more than willing to place his business investments and US politics all the same.

    …Is it possible that he did in fact cause this?

    • Brian Fantana

      March 12, 2023 at 7:14 pm

      Him and a couple others for sure. There’s a reason Yellen decided to back the depositors…they looked at the balance sheet and discovered it only had a minor impairment. Thiel should pay a price.

    A couple of VCs panicked and started a bank run that killed SVB. Now they want someone else to come in a buy SVB …yeah right. They can use Goldman from now on and get their faces ripped off.

The VC Backing the American Dream with Manan Mehta, Unshackled Ventures

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground.

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground. Visa restrictions, limited access to friends-and-family capital, shallow networks, and a venture industry built around pattern matching can keep promising founders from getting funded before they have a chance to prove themselves.

In this episode of Build Mode () , host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Manan Mehta, co-founder and managing partner of Unshackled Ventures, () to talk about why he believes immigrant founders represent one of venture capital’s biggest overlooked opportunities. Manan breaks down how Unshackled built an investment model designed to help founders navigate immigration barriers, why traditional VC pattern matching causes investors to miss potential outliers, and how his team evaluates founders at day zero—often before they have a product, customers, or traction. He also explains why the structural gaps that make some founders harder to fund may be exactly where investors should be looking for outsized returns.

They get into:

The four structural barriers immigrant founders face when starting companies in the U.S.

How Unshackled Ventures helps founders navigate visas while building their startups

Why VC’s reliance on pattern matching can cause investors to miss outlier founders

How Manan evaluates founders before they have a product, customers, or traction

The IQ, AQ, EQ, and SQ framework Unshackled uses to evaluate founder potential

Why resilience, lived experience, and a founder’s relationship to the problem can matter more than a polished pitch

Why structural gaps can create some of the biggest opportunities for investors

How founders without traditional networks can find alternative paths to early capital

Why founders should understand their personal “why” instead of trying to fit the traditional VC mold
