… we started at $0 revenue and $2000 initial deposit at citibank. over the next few years we put $millions a year through them, carried a balance of $millions in combined checking and mmf, and sold our company for $millions. now my personal accounts at the bank are in $low-thousands, and my post-sale money is in investment banks. nobody from citi ever called, or cared, or said anything when i went to the branch other than one time a teller asking me what our business did because he thought we were a tech company and he really liked cloud computing stuff. i was happy to talk to him about it, and that was it. 99% of banking is boring and uneventful, it's just numbers on a screen, especially if you live in an area where big bank accounts are common (certain areas of big states like ca, tx, ny, etc.).
