Bea and Artie speak with Nathan Tankus about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and why popular reporting on the bank's collapse only scratches the surface of the extraordinary measures that made up the government's response. Nathan walks us through how the Federal Reserve tipped its hand last month at the power it has to intervene in political crises, and how to understand SVB's collapse, you have to understand what the Fed did in the early days of the pandemic.

Want a Cutting Edge Space Space Force? We’ve Got To Talk About Bank Failures.
This is the first episode in a month-long series looking at various, sometimes neglected, aspects of the state of the space industrial base. This week in Washington, D.C. much of the focus has been on military readiness, sustainment, the state of the military industrial base, and whether the U.S. is ready to meet today’s requirements and those five, 10, 15 years in the future. What has not garnered due attention is how the U.S. financial system together with a reliance on venture capital can make or break the space companies that are developing the very technology the military says it needs to deter aggression or fight when the time comes. Laura Winter speaks with George Pullen, MilkyWay Economy’s Chief Economist; and with Jess Harrington, a Consultant at McKinsey & Company, who focuses on the intersection of the commercial space sector and the federal government.

Want a Cutting Edge Space Space Force? We’ve Got To Talk About Bank Failures.

The largest bank failure in the US since the 2008 crisis triggered a drop in share prices across the world and prompted central bank action to  limit the spreading turmoil. Once  more the fragility of the banking system has been exposed and reignited debates as to whether the world’s capitalist economies can continue riding successive financial storms.

Episode 355 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ben Maitland-Lewis, Director of Startup Banking & Founder Success at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and yes, this episode is also sponsored by SVB.

Ben and I go way back. His previous company, Pretty Instant, had a long-standing relationship with VentureFizz. This Y-Combinator company was an on-demand photography marketplace that did all of our office tour photoshoots on VentureFizz.  It honestly was an amazing experience… such a great company.

But even when you work with someone for a long time and you have a great professional relationship, there is so much about the person that you don’t know and this is one of the reasons why I love this podcast.

I learned that Ben’s background story is very eclectic… from living abroad as a child, to being a street performer and being in the circus to playing music with an orchestra… and then being in a band playing the top clubs in LA to playing drums for other bands like Incubus, Dishwalla, and others… I could go on and on, so I’ll stop here and let him tell his story in this interview.

Today, Ben is still leveraging his experience as a founder but helping other entrepreneurs in lots of meaningful ways at SVB.

In addition to Ben’s background story, we also cover:

* A discussion about making the transition from founder to employee.
* Ben’s journey into entrepreneurship and the story of PressKit.
* All the details about Pretty Instant and how the company got started and scaled.
* His current role at SVB and the different ways he is working with founders.
* Some analysis and positive vibes from SVB’s State of the Markets report.  
* And so much more.

Episode 355: Ben Maitland-Lewis - Director of Startup Banking, Silicon Valley Bank

"But what I didn't realize is that the main reason they wanted us in China was so that they could study our business model and figure out how to copy it over time. And that was something I wasn't expecting, but I should have. If I were less naive, And if I were better prepared, I would have realized that was the intention. So the original title, the working title I had for my book, which I had to change because the publisher didn't like it, my original title was 'One Bed, Two Dreams' (同床异梦).   Because that's a phrase that most Chinese are familiar with." - Ken Wilcox

Born in a family in 1984, Min An took the path that I'm probably going through now – PAP kindergarten, River Valley Primary School, Monk’s Hill Secondary School, Catholic Junior College, National Service plus 5 other jobs.

Rooted in the principles of value investing since September 2010, he applies these steps constantly to his surroundings – watch F&B owners run their stalls, observe what the markets pay with their dollars, calculating the business revenue that he eyes on, to name a few daily activities.

If I see him on the streets, say “Hi, I listened to your podcast”.

P.S. Why does he care so much about creating a podcast for me?

His friends and families motivated him when they feedback that his experience, which may not be totally right, boosted their understanding of the proper investing steps. Why not publish them?

And there he went.
