The failure of @SVB_Financial could destroy an important long-term driver of the economy as VC-backed companies rely on SVB for loans and holding their operating cash. If private capital can’t provide a solution, a highly dilutive gov’t preferred bailout should be considered.

5. Your ancestors knew more than you think
Don't dismiss their ideas, customs, and traditions just because they're "old"
"Tradition is a solution for problems that have been forgotten. Remove tradition, you get the problem back"
Honor your ancestors and keep them close in mind

Tiger Global's investment pace is well documented by @TurnerNovak memes and @packyM newsletter.
I built a simple website to track Tiger Global's private and public investments so that lazy VC twitter has a single source of truth for the ultimate🐯index.

Great to be supporting and working with these business builders! Onwards!!
