The @SVB_UK situation is more than an inconvenience for startups & scaleups; it is potentially fatal. It affects thousands of women and men building impactful companies which will shape the future of the UK and the world. Urgent cross-sector action is needed to help them. 🌎 #SVB – at Shibuya-ku, Tokyo
