Sagi Cohen and Corin Degani Haaretz, Mar 12, 2023 “I’m responsible for them and they have disappeared, and it’s not because I made a mistake. There is talk that some of the money will be returned. That doesn’t comfort me. The level of certainty is zero. Leading a startup is hard. There’s always […]
Sophie Shulman C Tech, Mar.12, 2023 “Poor communication, unfortunate choice of words, and an unusual dependence on a handful of clients resulted in the bank becoming a persona non grata.” The story of the dramatic collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) should greatly alarm Israel.
