Graham Steele

Graham Steele appears in Ron Conway, Founder, SV Angel: Silicon Valley Bank Crisis as the U.S. Treasury point person Wally Adeyemo directed Ron Conway to during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis. Conway says his pitch to Steele was that the government needed two words: “guarantee deposits.”

The page is source-scoped because the episode gives Steele a process role rather than a long biography. His main wiki relevance is the way the SVB weekend moved from startup panic into Treasury decision-making around Deposit Guarantee Crisis Response, Moral Hazard Contagion Tradeoff, and the Systemic Risk Exception.
