Approximately 125 VCs and investors have signed a statement in support of SVB, aiming to limit the fallout from the bank’s demise. Among the venture firms backing the statement are Sequoia Capital and General Catalyst.
These high-profile investors held a series of meetings over Zoom and disclosed the statement, according to a Bloomberg report. Hemant Taneja, the CEO of General Catalyst, initially revealed the joint statement, which read:
“If SVB were to be purchased and appropriately capitalized, we would strongly support it and encourage our portfolio companies to resume their banking relationships with them.”
In parallel, Y Combinator, a startup incubator, has also posted a petition calling for depositors to be made whole and for regulation to prevent such a catastrophe.
SVB’s impending closure has prompted a response from the investment community. VCs and investors have come together to support the bank and limit the impact of its collapse on the tech industry. While the bank’s future remains uncertain, the statement from these influential investors may provide some reassurance to SVB’s customers and employees alike. Additionally, the petition from Y Combinator highlights the need for regulatory measures to prevent such events from occurring in the future.
