Aside from all those tech founders (today's LP VCs) from 2008-2020 likely held equity/deposits at SVB, and the sheer call out by them to make a run on the bank yesterday just broke the bank. The speed of fintech makes it feel coordinated.

Funny it seems like VC GPs were on the horn yesterday to withdraw, and I know a number of LPs telling me last Sun/Mon they'll be "out of the country" next month. Looks like some folks had early info.
