Last weekend was a nightmare for tech founders and executives as the Silicon Valley Bank, where over half of the venture-backed startups keep their money, failed in just 40 hours. In this video, we discuss the events that unfolded from Wednesday at 4:04 PM to Friday at noon, when trading was halted, offices were closed, and the government had to intervene with a takeover.

The panic continued over the weekend as thousands of jobs were on the line, not only from their own payrolls but their providers too. The government's intervention, which is usually less welcomed in the tech sector, was seen as a desperate callout for help. We'll explore whether or not this was the right thing to do and what could have happened if it hadn't.

If you're interested in the tech world and want to know more about the potential consequences of a bank's failure, then this video is for you. Join us as we dive into this crucial topic and discuss its impact on the future of technology.

Is there something more counterproductive than saying "don't panic" to keep people from doing exactly that?

“Screw the government; We want deregulation!”
- Bank fails.
“Help us, government!!!”

Guys lets all agree.. this is better than watching half baked news on TV

[cecylinzey]

Just want to recognize the insane amount of work that went into this. My hat goes off to everyone behind this production

[itsthesoup]

This was extremely well detailed, well paced, and high quality. Fantastic job by the Slidebean team explaining an ever-evolving situation. This is why I love this channel and what you guys do.

Not gonna lie, I was hesitant on watching this because I’d already watched many vids on SVBs collapse and didn’t want to hear the same somewhat boring story.

I’m glad I did because this was by far the best explanation of the collapse and the circumstances that led to it. There’s a lot of details that even top YouTubers didn’t mention.

Wait this was done in 40 hours? Holy crap.... great work yall

Great video. The only thing I would mention is silcon bank and others successfully lobbied (during trump's presidency) to pass legislation that removed regulations like "mandatory stress tests on banks the size of Silicon Valley Bank" that were created to prevent financial crises like this one. Interestingly enough, the logic used was that the failure of regional or niche banks would not cause systemic economic collapse or significantly impact the larger economy so the government would never need to bail them out. 😂😂😂

30:32 While the executives have been fired, before they did they cashed out their stock and gave themselves bonuses.

Your explainer videos are always amazing. And this is one of the best videos on the SVB collapse. well done!!

[AeroPR]

What an amazing job you guys did in summarizing and explaining the issue. Best explanation so far

[cosmicorphan]

Thank you for creating such an educational video about this recent event, personally found it clear, and easy to understand. P.S Loved the nod to Douglas Adams' 'Don't Panic'

[masteradit]

This is one of the best videos I have watched on YouTube recently. The way everything is explained and the quality of the video, it just feels amazing! Keep up the good work team and all the best for your future videos as well!

My employer banked via Silicon Valley Bank and was part of the run on it, though it doesn't look like they were able to get all the money out before the collapse. The vibe from management was weird, a bit of a "holy shit we can't believe this is happening, history in the making" kinda stuff.

[BLESSED]

It is important to note that shares of the bank where sold as well as bonuses where signed the day before the collapse!! End of story. The sf fed was well aware of this and I’m sure made a ton of money!
