The SVB Takeover: What Does it Mean for the Danish Startup Ecosystem?

Kromann Reumert invites you to The SVB Takeover: What Does it Mean for the Danish Startup Ecosystem? on Wednesday, 29 March 2023 from 15.00 - 17.30 (CET).

SVB collapse

In the wake of the crash of one of the most prominent banks in the startup sector, how will these global events affect the Danish startup ecosystem, and what should startups and their investors be aware of going forwards? We invite key players in venture capital to share their take on what happened and what we need to know for the future. 

Following their collapse on 8 March, entrepreneurs have flooded social media with stories in support of Silicon Valley Bank. Through fast deals and assurances, the worst-case scenarios have been avoided to the benefit of the entire ecosystem. But times remain uncertain: SVB US is not out of the woods yet, and how SVB UK including the Nordics will fare under new ownership by HSBC remains to be seen.
 
Silicon Valley Bank joins us to give their side of the story, about the factors that lead up to this moment, and what they expect going forward. Attendees will hear from lawyers from the Kromann Reumert startup & venture team as they present key learnings. Finally, a panel of representatives from Silicon Valley Bank, Vækstfonden / Denmark's Export and Investment Fund, Heartcore Capital and 
ByFounders will discuss the ripple effects that this will have in the sector, and how to navigate the changing landscape and adapt to the new realities of day-to-day operations, fundraising and financing.
