I founded a startup. We raised $2.5M, not all at once. We banked at SVB. It sucked. Subpar online tools. $200/mo “analysis fee,” never once had a “relationship” with anyone. Maybe we were never big enough to be relevant. That’s fair.
My advice: use a retail bank until you have a few million in revenue, then shop around. Make the SVB’s of the world earn your business. SVB in particular was so incredibly entitled.
I’m glad they failed more spectacularly than my little startup.
