Key question: what other banks that startups use have an exemption to Basel III? Would love to understand broader risk to startup ecosystem.

Given how popular this bank was with startups/tech orgs, it suggests that they were otherwise unbankable by the usual players.

I’m unsure what special services a startup needs from their bank that any other bank serving businesses couldn’t offer.
