For years, the bank poured money into the Bay Area’s riskier startups, allowing those companies to pursue their various “disruptive” aims. Eventually, mismanagement led that business model to collapse. Now, billionaire Palantir founder Peter Thiel and several of his pals want to fill the void left by SVB by launching their own bank dedicated to backing the industry’s riskier bets.
