When I talk to more established startups, one of the first things I want to know, after asking about the growth rate and whether they're profitable, is whether the founders still have board control. I'm more optimistic about the company when the answer is yes.
Across the West, @alterramtnco mountains have record snow & season extensions: @MammothMountain, @BigBearMtResort, @palisadestahoe, @SolitudeMTN, @Deer_Valley, @skisteamboat Full story via @nytimes: nytimes.com/2023/03/20/tra… 📷: @petermorning / @mammothmountain & @solitudemtn
So focused on the crisis this weekend, I had no idea the clocks changed until someone told me this morning 🤦♂️ -- I thought the exhaustion was b/c of the stress
This was not a bailout. During the GFC, the gov’t injected taxpayer money in the form of preferred stock into banks. Bondholders were protected and shareholders were diluted to varying degrees. Taxpayer money was put at great risk. Many people who screwed up suffered minimal to…
Good explanation of three things: the difference between a “bailout” of equity holders vs protection for depositors; the nationwide impact on jobs and ripple effects; and the importance of confidence in our fractional banking system.
Feels like many misunderstand the difference between bond holders/stockholders/executives and depositors. No one is arguing to bail out the bank. Equity holders should lose everything. But depositors (who did nothing speculative) can’t access their $ to make payroll this week. 1/
Nothing like a crisis to sort out those with character and those without. We watched. We learned. We will learn more as this gets pulled apart.
what a roller coaster... just in time before the asian markets open.
100% and not surprising to see @RepRoKhanna speaking clearly and frankly on this. if deposits at SVB aren't made whole by Monday there will be significant reprocusions across the economy (more bank failures, furloughs, etc).
The deal since FDR — shareholders & investors lose their value but depositors are protected. Chair Powell recognized this when all depositors were protected after Bank of New England collapsed. Money today moves at the speed of Twitter. The gov’t needs to act fast & decisively.
What Yellen should have said: 1. No bailout for SVB stockholders/bond holders. 2. But deposits are safe—not just at SVB but at all regional banks. You can trust the US banking system. 3. We will backstop it if necessary to prevent contagion. We will defend the US banking system.
I won’t let you politicize a bank run. It’s simple: the government must step in. Build confidence. Save depositors. Shareholders go to zero. I don’t give a damn which industry. All the rest of this is NOISE.
Heartbreaking day. To my friends and colleagues at #SVB. Thanks for your support over the years and all the way to the end today. I am truly sorry. To the startups and everyone impacted, let’s hope we have resolution over the weekend beyond our FDIC protection.
We have a ton more work to do to bring gender parity to reality... these are the amazing women that run @GravityHaus
Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at Gravity Haus! From the front line to behind the computer screen, and every trail, lake, chute and mountain top in-between, the women of Gravity Haus are a force to be reckoned with. gravityhaus.com/the-women-of-g…
loved the "state of the apps" podcast @stephsmithio podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16… -- commentary on the "new yelp" is a topic here. we should revive @forkly @bradybecker :)
Friday random thought ... cool people and genZ both don't use YELP! just saying.
How many sunrises will you see this year? This morning from Teton Village.
I considered for a moment bailing on the dawn patrol skin this morning...then I listened to the other voice that reminded me to keep doing hard things. a note on aging and doing hard things...don't stop doing hard things. if you stop, then you truly get "old"
Weekends should be for happy #skiing pictures ... first tracks with my skinning buddy Andrew this morning @vailmtn Enjoy the pow everyone ❄️ ⛷️
First track the earned way with Glass! It’s going to be a pow fest ❄️⛷️joinmeinvite.gravityhaus.com/cGLe JoinMe: Sunrise Skin to Mid-Vail/PHQ
