Silicon Valley Bank Names Selected Presenters at SVB Tech Investors Forum; Event Anticipated as the Premier, Independent Forum for Small-Cap Investors and Fast-Growth Technology Companies
Company news | August 16, 2004
SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 16, 2004 - Silicon Valley Bank, a subsidiary of Silicon Valley Bancshares (Nasdaq: SIVB), will feature 80 select, high-growth, public and private companies to present to institutional and private equity investors at the SVB Tech Investors Forum. The event, which will take place September 8-9, 2004 at the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, will offer investors one-on-one access to management teams from a group of selected technology firms in an independent environment.
As the premier financial services provider dedicated to emerging and established technology companies, Silicon Valley Bank is in a unique position to bring together the best high-growth companies in the marketplace and small-cap investors looking for prospective investment opportunities. Seventy-five percent of the companies slated to present at the SVB Tech Investors Forum are publicly traded, representing some of the most promising companies in their industries (see list attached).
"Silicon Valley Bank's ability to connect the most in-demand, dynamic tech companies with small-cap investors is unmatched, by virtue of our history and relationships in both markets. The caliber of investment firms we're attracting to this event is a testament to the quality of the companies that are presenting," said Silvia Fernandez, Forum chair, Silicon Valley Bank. "Although SVB's reputation as the leading financial services provider for emerging, venture-backed companies is well established, some are surprised to learn that we also work with larger, public firms. In fact, Silicon Valley Bank is the bank of choice for one in five small-cap companies listed on Nasdaq."
The two-day, invitation-only SVB Tech Investors Forum will feature presentations from select technology companies, business luminaries and inspirational speakers:
