    “Calm down”… that is exactly what SVB CEO told its investors the day before its closure

    interesting- the late stage VCs say the problem is limited to early stage companies, the early stage VCs say the problem is limited to late stage companies.

    It’s clear that many VCs are not providing basic fiscal knowledge to their companies. There is no excuse for operating funds to be put at risk in this manner.

    Starting a business is risky. There is no excuse taking on risk that is not necessary for your business.

    Capitalism seems like a sane system.

      That’s what good about market capitalism, its correcting bad investments for crony capitalists running this bank. This one is a Titanic Ship. The operators of this bank will get invited in World Economic Forum at Davos next year, on global economy.

      x x I will buy you a one way ticket to CUBA, VENEZUELA, RUSSIA, N. KOREA.

      @Jeb Garcia what do those countries have to do with this topic except for that they have been sanctioned out of oblivion by the US economic system aka world economy to tank their economies and destabilize their societies? What do you think would happen to the US if we were sanctioned out of oblivion by the world economic system in the same way? Our economic system is fragile, and any economic woes are caused internally, not externally. Russia is a capitalist country and Cuba has a higher life expectancy than the US despite the economic and military incongruences between the two countries… its interesting that you didn’t mention China ww.

    Bring a Idea….make prototype….present to the mass……create the hype……..go to IPO……..collect cash from investor……with no production plant, no income, no sales just a web site…….and suddenly market value at $4 billions….

    Deregulated corporate capitalism is nothing more than greed run amuck.
    republicanism will destroy both our republic and our democratic form of governance, if we allow it.
    Vote more democratic in 2024.

    Sit back. Lockdown made Computer Literacy much more common worldwide. However, freedom is fun, especially in summer and users are not still stuck behind home computers. Next winter the Tech Industry will rise far higher than ever.

    If your nation and your people are really worried about the short term, your leaders wouldn’t have colluded in Ukraine in 2014,nor will they have did all the list of wrong actions they are world famous for. Nobody will give you cash. Just keep on begging. Your real economy died a decade ago already and you could not even say that to your new generation dumb ceos.

She shares how one simple device allowed her crops (and her dreams) to flourish — and offers a glimmer of hope in the face of growing climate uncertainty.
