Why venture capital investors partner with us
Unmatched portfolio company support

Across the US and EMEA, we provide banking for VC firms with global and foreign exchange capabilities in 90+ currencies across 110+ countries. We can support your funds and investments in major technology hubs across the globe.
Proprietary research and insights
Our signature reports across sectors, stages and geos can help you make strategic and transactional decisions with confidence. From AI to frontier tech, climate tech, fintech, biotech, cybersecurity and much more, we’re always on top of what’s happening across the innovation economy.
Network
Our global networks include stakeholders in every part of the innovation community. From pre-seed start ups to publicly-traded enterprises, corporate VCs to Family Offices, the chances are your next company already banks with us.
Specialized Investor Teams
Our seasoned investor teams bring deep expertise across the VC landscape including technology, life science and healthcare, corporate VCs and emerging managers. We also support pre-partners with networking and education through our NextGen program.
We look at SVB as our partner. When a portfolio company has a tough time, we know SVB will support us in our decisions. There is a mutual trust and SVB will have candid conversations with us. Other banks would base decisions solely on whether or not covenants were met.
