Anecdotally about SVB and crypto; I really wanted to put my funding round assets into Silicon Valley Bank for my last start up. However, when I was speaking to their bankers, I mentioned that there was a possible element of the platform that would be Web3 based. The SVB team immediately paused my application and insisted that they do a deep dive into all of my investors, my bank accounts, and my pitch decks. My pitch deck did not include materials about web3 since it was so tertiary to our core strategy, and this discrepancy between what I had told them and the paper materials was such that it raised enough of an alarm at SVB that the refused to take my deposit. They were really concerned about anything web3 so I wonder if they limited their exposure. Or maybe it was just us they didn’t like.
