I snagged time for the very knowledgeable Justin Dawkins who lives inside the investment community as managing partner of Collab Capital who raised an incredible $50M during the pandemic with the sole purpose of investing in Black founders.
 
He and I break down the very nature of what a bank does and how the banking ecosystem is supported. We then go step by step through how Silicon Valley Bank ended up running out of money and why the government stepped in.
 
There is also an impact on how the down turn in the tech community hits beauty industry investments this year and beyond.
