SVB was a relatively normal regional business bank that also had giant VC accounts.

So they also had some things people would think of as "regular" businesses, like local wineries, nonprofits, affordable housing developers etc. who were all in trouble.

(I think of all of those as rich people hobbies, but most people think farmers are salt of the earth working class types for some reason, so they have better images.)

A friend from college has 3 startups for 3 different drug formulations winding themselves through the FDA / research / etc. The money for those from grants, payroll, etc were at SVB. Is that mom & pop? I'd say so. They're still on a postgrad salary so they can fold money back into moving those drugs forward.
