Except for insurance on that sort of bank run.
Really it comes down to irrational VCs starting this bank run, which inevitably led to the destruction of the only bank that really understands tech startups. And now the same folks are making fools of themselves doubting all economic data (public or private, they all agree) that shows that most sectors are doing fantastically, just not tech. They are also backing a presidential candidate that thinks WiFi causes cancer, and has some of the worst anti-science views out there; in addition these same VCs are pretty much solely responsible for the community backlash against tech, the change from appreciation of tech to hate of tech, as they are outliers with their weird political obsessions that don't even match the rest of the industry.
The result of the interest rate hikes was that there were going to be some bank failures, that's the whole point of trying to cool things off. That it happened in tech and not elsewhere is due to a few bad actors that have more economic power than wisdom to wield it well.
