If you know anyone who works at SVB, text them your support. It's at times like these for banking institutions that people can be upset and not see hope. You need to let them know there is hope.

@boztank Hey, Boz, you're an investor in @Backstage_Cap and someone I consider friendly, and I will ask you the same I asked @sama and @satyanadella: show us the photos or stats of the people of color working on this in a a significant way. I have faith in you and look forward to seeing!

Ina Fried / Axios :
@boztank ... That's fair! I have no problem with you thinking something is inappropriate. I have a problem with you lashing out and cursing at me. But all good. I wish you'd just responded normally, and that it didn't feel so weird right now. But we'll both live.

Ina Fried / Axios :
@boztank ... 🤷🏾♀ ️Boz, I said “photos or stats” for this very reason. And please don't act like I'm some evil person for asking for photos. There are team photos on hundreds of thousands of company websites. Let's be intellectually honest. I'm asking to see what sort of representation there is.

Ina Fried / Axios :
@boztank ... Oh, I should mention that Boz wrote to me in dm very upset that I'd dare tweet this. I was taken by surprise by his response bc neither Satya nor Sam Altman reacted in such a way when I asked this very straight forward question, even though I'm sure it was uncomfortable for them.
