.@GarryTan CEO of @ycombinator calling the SVB fallout an "extinction level event for startups"
"These depositors will not survive weeks or months without some sort of plan from the govt."

The situation at Silicon Valley Bank has left many on edge
SVB had $175B in deposits, a large % coming from SF small businesses, nonprofits & tech startups that are locked up due to the collapse.
There are big ramifications if the Fed & US Treasury don’t take fast action:🧵
Being a great manager is easy.
All you have to do is be vulnerable but unflappable, care about people but put the business first, balance competing interests of your team and your boss, obsess over numbers but be a great storyteller, empower your team but give clear direction…
Still reeling from last night’s results, but I see a lot of people sharing despair for the triumph of racism and exclusion in Malaysia. Some reflections from someone who confronts this question daily @ @aod_malaysia with a few doses of hope 🧵: 1/
You betrayed your allies who helped you win GE14, silenced Parliament, locked us down, mishandled the pandemic which resulted in 36,583 deaths and businesses shut down, had your lackey annoy the Agong, then and finally, reveal yourself to be racist.
You cannot be PM anymore.
IT'S OFFICIAL.
As of 2pm, the number of votes cast in GE15 has equaled GE14!!!
Let's keep pushing. Masih ada lagi 3 jam untuk mengundi. Belum terlewat.

Ringgit continues its slide downwards. Country suffering from rising cost of living. Flood season looming. But we have a group of people more interested in calling elections. Knowing priorities when in position of leadership is the most powerful skill
Met with a terrific group of Female Entrepreneurs today, the @UNCTAD eTrade for Women Advocates. These are Ambasadors for women in the digital economy! They are great examples of how women can do well digitally! @mumzworld@TiptiMarket, Birame Sock, @dammyoloke, @lennise01
Thank you, @UN_Valovaya, the Director-General of @UNGeneva, for having welcomed the #eTradeforWomen Advocates to the @UN & the Palais des Nations!
The five Advocates will help empower more women entrepreneurs and contribute to bridging the gender divide in the digital economy.

What can we do more to support women in trade? And how can we help them to embrace digitisation?
