Silicon Valley Bank bought, but Silicon Valley has already moved on

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:44 GMT

Silicon Valley Bank’s rapid fall this month initially felt cataclysmic for the Bay Area’s startup industry. Less than three weeks later, news of the bank’s purchase by First Citizens Bank was met Monday with little more than raised eyebrows.Silicon Valley had moved on, quickly.“We don’t even think about it anymore except to say, ‘Oh my gosh, remember how crazy it was?’ ” said Chon Tang, general partner at SkyDeck, UC Berkeley’s startup accelerator.The Santa Clara-based bank’s demise set off a crisis in confidence in the banking industry but also opened up opportunity for other banks to jump in to serve startups suddenly scrambling for banking services.Penelope Finnie, CEO of menstrual products startup Egal, had long appreciated Silicon Valley Bank’s services, but its sudden implosion early this month, with a large sum of just-deposited Egal funding, spiked her stress level — and sent her elsewhere.“I went ...

Opinion: California must provide a global model for coastal resiliency

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:22:44 GMT

Ten years ago, I wrote a book called “The Golden Shore: California’s Love Affair with the Sea.” Back then, I suggested that California, with almost 40 million people and the world’s fifth largest economy, was proof that you could grow a progressive society while protecting your coast and ocean. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the book “just might make you feel optimistic about the future.”Well, that future has arrived and I’m less optimistic. This winter’s atmospheric river storms, coastal flooding, erosion, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion into rivers, and sedimentation dumping thousands of tons of soil into the ocean were only the most recent of the state’s disasters. The year 2022 alone brought a massive red tide in San Francisco Bay, the continued die-off of 95% of northern California’s kelp forest between the Golden Gate and Cape Mendocino, and a spike of gray whale deaths along the entire coast.Climate impacts threaten communities, both human and wild, ra...
