What a week. Bank issues resolved just in time to hit the road on Mon. Power went out at home Tues-Thurs. Three days waking up before the sun and going to bed long after it set. Driving home again in the rain. All worth it for a full freezer.

Anyone here a #bootstrap #founder using a commercial bank that isn’t insolvent? We are evaluating Brex and Mercury, both seem specifically built for venture-backed companies so it doesn’t feel like a good fit as we are 100% self-funded. #startup #siliconvalleybank

Of all the things that could go wrong at your #startup, I did not anticipate the bank holding all the cash we have going under being one of them. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/10/silicon-valley-bank-is-shut-down-by-regulators-fdic-to-protect-insured-deposits.html

Here's what I got from Flo, a health tracking app:
1) What device/devices this Flo account was used on?
2) What year of birth is set in the account?
3) What time zone is set in the account?
4) What is the approximate start date of using the account?
5) When was the last cycle logged?
And my responses:
phones / **** / device default / after 2003 / before 1/1/2023

FYI on CA consumer privacy requests - if you or an authorized agent file a request to a company to delete your data, and they ask you to "prove your identity", they are still obligated by law to comply because you already identified yourself in the request. You may answer with technically correct responses.
