Entrepreneur Services Group Testimonials
"Raising money is all about relationships and very few relationships paid as many dividends as the one with SVB. I know what you're thinking — "a bank?" — but SVB's help was instrumental in our fund-raising efforts. More than just cold introductions, the SVB team took the time to learn about our business and helped us identify investors that would be a good match for our business (and then do introductions). A huge asset. You don't get that kind of information or value at other banks."

"Venture Exchange introduced us to the firm that ended us leading our Series B round. They have unique insights into the VC community and know better than anyone which VC is truly going to be a fit with the company. They understand entrepreneurs and are respectful of our time, and only make introductions when it makes sense. We are grateful to the Venture Exchange team for a great Series B round."

"We're big fans of the SVB Investor Forum. We presented in December, 2007, and addressed questions from dozens of investors at once, which really helped us understand how we were viewed. We also met Josh Goldman from Norwest Venture Partners, who ultimately led our Series C financing and joined our Board of Directors. I would highly recommend this excellent venue to any entrepreneur."

"SVB's Investor Forum was perfect for us. We were able to refine our pitch, get top-notch mentoring and gain invaluable experience pitching our company to a room packed with VC firms. Not only that, but immediately after our pitch, we opened conversations with a number of VCs in the room and we struck up a relationship with Mohr Davidow Ventures, the firm we ultimately partnered with on our Series A financing. I can't thank SVB enough for the opportunity to present at the Investors Forum. I'd recommend it to any and every entrepreneur who is seeking funding."

"It was a pleasure to work with the Venture Exchange team. They provided valuable connections, guidance, and insights on the fundraising process. The SVB team was able to open doors to the right investors and we ultimately landed the funds we needed.

"We would not have targeted one of the firms from whom we received funding if it were not for an introduction from Venture Exchange. Given SVB's presence and direct relationships with people who are actively investing in key markets, we were able to get excellent and timely introductions to the firms we wanted. SVB is terrific. I've been a client with them through four companies."

"It's great to have a partner like SVB Capital whose mission in life it is to make the right connections. Working with the Venture Exchange Program was the most efficient and effective way to get in front of the investing audience we wanted. SVB's reach and diligence is unparalleled. We've successfully landed funding from two VCs as a direct result of Venture Exchange introductions to general partners."
