Show Notes

Silicon Valley Bank, the nation’s 16th largest bank and a financial center for many tech startups, collapsed in mid-March. Startups across the country - including here in the Philadelphia region - are feeling the effects. But outside of the tech world, how big of a deal is this for everyone? Could this bank’s failure lead people to panic and push other banks to a tipping point?
