SVB has been a good partner to our tech ecosystem. As a founder of a tech company, I am publicly stating our support of working with SVB’s successor if the FDIC/Fed can assure that the bank is in stable hands.
So many special moments in yesterday's #MastersofScaleSummit, but a surprise conversation with @Arobichaux and Prince Harry about @Betterup's mission to democratize coaching was an incredible way to wrap up the day.
The best way to get startup ideas is to build things you yourself want. And when what you yourself want is to fix global problems, this becomes a very effective way to fix global problems.

When your mission is simply to transform humans and you raise $300m at a post of $4.7B, you gotta feel pretty good about your place in the world. Congrats to @BetterUp & the inimitable @Arobichaux and @eddymedinablog. So grateful to be in your orbits.

Thank you so much @emelton! As our first board member, few folks have contributed to building @BetterUp in such a hi-conviction and hi-impact way. You understood the potential for @BetterUp to reshape how we think about mental health from Day 1! And, helped us to deliver on that.
1/ I believe that Mental Health is THE issue of the decade- for families, companies, as well as healthcare providers. @BetterUp is a category-creating company providing a unique solution for employers to invest in the mental health of their employees. https://t.co/UzYNcIOK1v
Thanks so much @ThePhilBoyer! We’re so fortunate to have been able to build @BetterUp with you and @CrosslinkCap from the early days! Onwards and upwards!
Another great day for @BetterUp in announcing its Series E round! The pace of execution is truly incredible to watch, and we @CrosslinkCap feel lucky to have had a front row seat since the seed round. Onward! @Arobichaux

Thanks so much @wakohler! I’ve grown so much as a result of your coaching, mentorship, and partnership as has @BetterUp. Not every startup can boast having a fund as amazing as @lightspeedvp lead three rounds! We’re honored and grateful for you and LSVP’s unwavering support!
1/5 Congrats to the @BetterUp team on their $300M Series E at a $4.75B valuation. Personally, I've grown as an investor & person by serving on the board of a company with the mission to unlock greater potential, purpose, & passion to each and every person. https://t.co/rFuHgdKT94
