Silicon Valley Bank

SVB Financial Group pro­vides diver­si­fied finan­cial ser­vices to emerg­ing growth and mature com­pa­nies in the tech­nol­ogy, life sci­ence, pri­vate equity and pre­mium wine mar­kets.

Through its focus on spe­cial­ized mar­kets and exten­sive knowl­edge of the peo­ple and busi­ness issues dri­ving them, SVB Financial Group pro­vides a level of ser­vice and part­ner­ship that mea­sur­ably impacts its clients’ success.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., the com­pany offers its clients com­mer­cial, invest­ment, mer­chant and pri­vate bank­ing, as well as value-added ser­vices using its knowl­edge and net­works. Merger, acqui­si­tion, pri­vate place­ment and cor­po­rate part­ner­ing ser­vices are pro­vided through the company’s invest­ment bank­ing sub­sidiary, SVB Alliant. Founded in 1983, SVB Financial Group serves nearly 11,000 clients around the world through 27 domes­tic offices, three inter­na­tional sub­sidiaries in the U.K., India and China, and an exten­sive net­work of rela­tion­ships with ven­ture cap­i­tal­ists in Asia, Australia, Europe, India, and Israel.

With solid under­stand­ing of the true risks and rewards faced by com­pa­nies in dynamic mar­kets, the com­pany is widely rec­og­nized for its abil­ity to develop inno­v­a­tive approaches to meet the unique finan­cial needs of its clients. SVB Financial Group began serv­ing the tech­nol­ogy and life sci­ence mar­kets at a time when they were not well-understood by the finan­cial ser­vices indus­try and when many of the lead­ing com­pa­nies in these indus­tries were just get­ting started. At that time, many of these com­pa­nies had yet to show prof­its and were not con­sid­ered cred­it­wor­thy by local com­mu­nity or regional banks.

Over the last two decades, SVB Financial Group has become one of the most respected names in the finan­cial ser­vices indus­try. The com­pany has cre­ated inno­v­a­tive solu­tions for some of the world’s most suc­cess­ful tech­nol­ogy and life sci­ences com­pa­nies. These com­pa­nies face unique chal­lenges and require spe­cial ser­vices, such as find­ing the right ven­ture cap­i­tal­ist or angel investor, secur­ing cap­i­tal to sup­port rapid growth, or dri­ving over­seas expan­sion. SVB Financial Group offers prod­ucts and ser­vices specif­i­cally tai­lored to meet our clients’ needs at every stage of cor­po­rate growth.

Today, SVB Financial Group has over 1,000 employ­ees and over $5 bil­lion in assets. The com­pany oper­ates offices through­out Silicon Valley in Fremont, Menlo Park – the cen­ter of California’s ven­ture cap­i­tal com­mu­nity, Santa Clara (2) and Palo Alto (3).
