Yep. We’re seeing it. This headline implies it’s the Feds doing this but it’s SVB’s fault —> Tech startups raced to line up sources of cash for payroll after their deposits in Silicon Valley Bank were locked up when federal authorities took control Fri am https://t.co/VC8Zj97y6X

[Barbara Clarke @beclarke]

Really pleased by the fast action of many of my portfolio companies to manage their exposure to the SVB meltdown.

[Barbara Clarke @beclarke]

Well that was fast action by the FDIC —> Silicon Valley Bank parent SVB Financial is seeking a buyer after its plan for a share sale fell through https://t.co/F0c00tv6s2

[Barbara Clarke @beclarke]

Wow. There could be a run on the bank if you just raised your round and hold it at SVB - remember the FDIC has a limit on its guarantee —> SVB Stock Price Slides Another 68% Premarket https://t.co/Bv1IJ4dINp

Weakening child labor laws is a fast route to a less educated country

The education gains of the 20th C came from child labor restrictions, compulsory schooling, & more schools

Putting kids to work moves us backwards to a poorer, harsher world

@IleanaGonzxlez Adding another vote for personalization. It’s not too hard to see who’s in my portfolio and make a connection that way. Just because you can automate outreach doesnt mean you should.

If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.

A lot of diversity theater in this town.

[Allison Byers @apbyers]

Of the $19.5B VC capital deployed in MA in 2022:

- 0.56% to Black founders
- 0.9% to women founders
- 3.4% to Latino founders

Boston is really good at talking about diversity and really bad at writing checks.

[Ruthzee Louijeune @Ruthzee]

For the 1st time in history, the Massachusetts Attorney General is a Black woman - the 1st woman of color to hold statewide office.

AG Campbell, excited to see you use your personal story & expertise to do the work of justice for the people.
