Just found out that SVB was one of the start up investors to the new company I just went to. Manager says it’s fine.

What is this life.

So they were investing directly into startups, which have a high failure rate?

I've heard this, but it's sort of glossed over in the media. I know they had bad luck with long term bonds from 3-4 years ago now being sort of weak sauce on their books with the rate hikes. But direct investment into silicon valley start ups would be risky move for a bank like this IMO.
