Last Chance to Apply to the Newcomer Banking Summit. It's Next Thursday in San Francisco.
We'll be publishing interviews from our summit here in the newsletter.
One year ago, I published a newsletter post titled, “Panic Erupts As Venture Capitalists Tell Startups to Abandon Silicon Valley Bank.”
It was a crazy moment, when it felt like the fall of Silicon Valley Bank might just bring down all of Silicon Valley.
The worst happened — Silicon Valley Bank, and then First Republic — unraveled.
But at the same time, everything turned out okay.
Depositors kept their money. Silicon Valley didn’t lose its step. SVB lives on. Top bankers from SVB and First Republic have shuffled to a bunch of other banks that are all vying to dethrone SVB as the startup industry’s go-to banking partner.
So next week, I’m hosting a financial technology and banking summit that’s going to ask a couple big questions:
What did we learn from Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank’s failures?
Which bank is best positioned to fill the void left by SVB — or is it Silicon Valley Bank itself?
How are financial technology firms seizing the moment to compete with traditional banks?
We’ve got a great lineup, including Silicon Valley Bank President Marc Cadieux, Lead Bank CEO Jackie Reses, Mercury CEO Immad Akhund, and top bankers at J.P. Morgan, Stifel, Citizens Private Bank, and HSBC.
The full schedule is below and on our website.
We have a few spots left for fintech CEOs, financial executives, investors, and technology bankers to attend.
For the rest of you, we’ll be publishing the talks here and on our YouTube channel. And soon we’ll be publishing a data-heavy look at what’s happened to banking in the past year.
