VCs were “absolutely to blame... for the speed with which we caused panic” said @seedcamp's @rsohoni on a #SiftedTalks yday about SVB.
“Panic is the worst. We need to all manage that & be more thoughtful of the action we take in any crisis situation.”

There is one line in this that really jumped out…. “The same VCs that are asking me to sign a letter saying ‘I will bank with SVB UK if the government was to support it’ are the same ones that told me and their other portfolio companies to pull the plug.”
One UK founder argues that the government *shouldn't* bail out SVB:
"This was a debacle of our own making, and the UK taxpayer should not put a single penny towards bailing it out."

Can you drop a 👋 if you've kept a private log/folder of your work history?
Maybe in a google doc, Dropbox, Notion etc., not a public portfolio.
I'd love to ask you something. (pls RT for reach!)
While the #4dayweek is being touted and tested at companies around the world, it's not the right fit for everyone.
Here's how @JoinCharlie figured out the right flexible work schedule for its employees: mailchimp.com/courier/articl…
