Description

You probably heard SVB collapsed, but what you probably don’t know is how close the UK startup ecosystem came to collapsing all together.
This is the inside story of how a small group of Founders and VCs fought to save the industry.
How do we know? Because our host Dan was a small part of it.
If the story we’re telling today hadn’t happened, then Dan would be sitting here without a company. This is how the crisis really played out.
