Silicon Valley Bank is our partner. We trust them, and we rely on their expertise and advice for everything: banking, asset management, debt financing, corporate cards, and more. They have consistently demonstrated a thorough understanding of deep tech and robotics, and they’ve always been steady and reliable partners through all the ups and downs that come with building a company.

SVB has been our consistent and flexible partner from Saildrone’s very beginning. They understood our business and provided great solutions along each step of our growth journey, ranging from early-stage banking and credit services to late- stage treasury and venture debt lines. We are excited to continue to expand our successful relationship.

SVB has consistently delivered tailored banking solutions to the unique needs of the startup and venture capital community, proving to be a critical partner through prosperous and challenging times. Although the 2023 banking crisis was a stark shock for all of us, SVB's commitment to community post-acquisition never faltered. Their thoughtful and dedicated approach has been the cornerstone of their brand for over four decades. We're proud to continue our banking relationship with SVB, a true supporter of start-up innovation and growth.

Brad Bogolea

CEO at Simbe Robotics

The SVB team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless process and successful outcome that has positioned us for continued growth — even when our situation sometimes proved challenging, they guided us through every step and we truly appreciate it.
