All Sides with Ann Fisher - 3-21-2023 B - Tech Tuesday - Lessons learned from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse
Central Ohio tech startups and the venture capital firms that fund them got a wake-up call last week when depositors made a run on Silicon Valley Bank.
The reverberations that started nearly 2,500 miles away on the West Coast had company executives across the country scrambling to make payroll and stay afloat.
In Columbus, the venture capital firm Drive was left with a third of its portfolio in peril, but swift action by company executives, two local banks and the FDIC averted a crisis.
Last week, Ohio became the latest state to withdraw from a respected multi-state voter registration database that helps maintain accurate voter rolls.
The Election Registration Information Center, known as ERIC, was founded in 2012 by Republican and Democratic officials as a way to rid voter rolls of deceased voters, those who had moved and duplicate registrations.
Information is shared between states and ERIC has been credited with curbing election fraud.
Now, the consortium has become the focal point of a misinformation campaign led by a handful of conservative, Republican-leaning states, including Ohio, and they have in their crosshairs one of the most vocal defenders of ERIC, David Becker, who talks with us this morning.
Can a vape-like device that slips easily into your pocket give clues into metabolic and digestive health?
The people behind FoodMarble's Aire digestive breath tester and Lumen's metabolism tracker say that's exactly what they're designed to do. But do they work?
