Maybe I'm paranoid. But I have a few accounts. Not enough to make everything FDIC insured, but enough to get more insurance and mitigate risk.

And my most recent startup used IntraFi's product to get diversification and more insurance.

I'm no startup CEO but I do trade stocks. I know many brokers, suck as Interactive Brokers will automatically move your money for you to different banks and your FDIC insurance is essentially $2.5 million while lookimg like 1 bank (https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/sweep-program...)

In addition I use a service called Max My Interest where it will find me the max interest savings account, but also consider risk of bank failure so it's not all in one bank.
