I disagree I can't see this taking down the whole financial system. Is VC way more intertwined in the whole financial community? Yes - however a lot of LP money can take a cut to their returns and still be fine. Endowments/sovereign funds/oligarchs not getting > 5-15% a year isn't a country wide economic crisis. Also for VC's/start ups to unwind can be much more controlled compared to say mortgage backed securities. Timelines vary and are opaque to the investment community. It would be an unwind compared to a collapse if it even went there

Possible scenario: tech crash->rent price crash in overheated markets->all the national and international firms that bought up all the houses to rent them out crash. It just depends on how much those firms depend on markets that depend on tech/finance money to cover their loan, tax, insurance, etc payments. All it takes is a few to try and dump their stock of houses and apartments to pay bills.
