Last year's Silicon Valley Bank collapse has shifted the strategy around where and how early-stage startups bank. 🏦In this Mucker Growth Series clip, Debbie Cohen Rosler with Burkland talks about her recommended approach to banking following that crisis. ✅Debbie recommends having accounts with at least two different banks: 👉A startup-focused bank 👉A larger, "major" bank ✅Startup-focused banks can provide more focus on early-stage entrepreneurs and often understand the cadence and nature of startup businesses. 👉Startup-focused banks are Debbie's recommendation for day-to-day operations, given their services and flexibility. ✅Larger, major banks can provide a strong backstop for any future potential crises. 👉While the assets of a startup-stage company may not be large enough to attract significant dedicated support from a major bank, Debbie recommends establishing that relationship early on...before you need it. 📈To hear more of Debbie's advice for setting up good startup financial practices from the beginning, check out the full Mucker Growth session link in the comments #entrepreneurship #founders #growth #finances #accounting #banking #financials #payroll
