Financing the tech start up ecosystem: The SVB case

Gerasimos Papaleventis (Vice President - Treasury, Head of Controlling and Monitoring in FIMBank plc, Malta) discusses and helps us detangle the implications of the current banks’ crises to see how they could affect the start-up and technology sectors:

  • how startup-focused banks affect the innovation ecosystem globally (US, Israel, the Gulf countries),
  • upcoming vulnerabilities to the US banking system and the US market crisis in the next six months,
  • what start-ups and venture capitals should do to safeguard their deposits,
  • why (or not) crypto-currency could become a backup system to centralised banking,
  • SVB vs Credit Suisse.

Gerasimos is a Banker and an Economist with almost 25 years of experience and progressive responsibility in financial and banking services. He holds a Master II degree in Banking and Insurance Science from Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (Paris XIII).
