A Note From Lighter Capital on Silicon Valley Bank

Updated: Dec 5, 2023



The recent news about Silicon Valley Bank is saddening for those in the startup world. For almost 40 years, SVB helped startups and technology companies succeed, including Lighter Capital.


While SVB and Lighter Capital worked together for many years, SVB has never been a credit facility provider for Lighter Capital. Our ability to continue funding startups is unaffected by the recent SVB events.
