Client Testimonials
What JLABS alums say about SVB
Dr. Maryam Ziaei
Founder & CEO |
iSono Health, Inc.
When we formed the company, we talked to several entrepreneur friends who all gave us suggestions on how to set up the company, legal, etc., and they all suggested SVB. Our experience with SVB has been seamless, especially SVB's online banking has been great. We hope to continue the relationship with SVB as we grow the company.
Dr. Maria Soloveychik
Co-Founder & CEO |
SyntheX
We started banking with SVB when the company was just formed. We have since raised a seed round and are now gearing up for a Series A. SVB has been fantastic at helping founders get started. I look forward to continue working closely with SVB as SyntheX enters the next stage of growth.
