The future of Silicon Valley Bank's outstanding venture loans is unclear.

Startups that borrowed capital from the now-defunct bank do not have access to their undrawn credit, and it is making some businesses nervous.

A number of companies have already started the process of refinancing the loan with another lender, while others are waiting to see if the ultimate buyer of the SVB's enormous venture debt portfolio will keep the loans intact. Ramifications abound.

Venture capital without Silicon Valley Bank
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank couldn't have come at a worse time for startups.

Venture-backed companies were already facing a capital crunch after market volatility forced investors to slow dealmaking and set higher benchmarks for financing—and now startups' debt financing options have also taken a hit.

Other banks and lenders are stepping in, but no matter how quickly they may be able to stem the fallout, SVB's collapse is sure to irrevocably change the inner workings of the venture capital industry.

Our latest analyst note breaks down how we got to this point, the immediate impact of SVB's failure, the broader implications for venture lending and what a future venture capital market could look like without Silicon Valley Bank.
