Summary
This week on The Tech Jawn we are joined by special guest Mac Conwell, founder and managing partner of RareBreed Ventures.
He hangs out with us to talk about the run on and ultimate failure of Silicon Valley bank, what actually happened, and how bad it could have been if the government didn’t step in.
We talk about the ICAN Act, why Mac was called to testify in front of Congress about it, and how modifying the stipulations for what it takes to be a venture capitalist could be good for founders of color.
And lastly, we talk about Mac’s journey to becoming a VC and why he focuses on business outside of Massachusetts, New York, and California.
