That said, one point of focus that has fallen under the radar for some is how the SVB crash has affected small business owners and everyday workers alike, many of them far out of the tech circle that SVB was thought to primarily service.
One of them is Jessica, the owner of leather goods small business Bramble and Beene, which is run through Etsy (ETSY).

Dona Sarkar, founder of inclusive fashion brand Prima Dona Studios, is in a similar situation.
