>I know that 250k cash is not a lot for a company with a few folks on payroll. But why wouldn’t you distribute cash across multiple banks as a business? On the topic of FDIC insurance and startups... I'll put in a shameless plug for a startup I helped launch 20yrs ago: *Promontory Interfinancial Network" https://www.intrafi.com/solutions/depositors/ https://www.intrafi.com/solutions/depositors/ It was a startup them (now acquired), and created a bank deposit product "CDARS" which took customer deposits and distributed it across (k = N/<FDIC Limit) banks and kept the relationship as a single bank with a single account. Even cooler, as k other people did it at k other banks, the service would just swap deposits across all the banks. It was a super-cool and valuable product, and i'm proud to say I helped write the matching engine for it back in 2002. I realize this doesnt help startups with locked funds at SVB, but I'm pointing out -- there are options out there to have 100% FDIC insured safety for both individuals and startups.
