MISSION
About this episode

In 2018, 67% of all US venture-backed companies with an IPO used Silicon Valley Bank. Today, about 50% of all venture-backed tech and life science companies in the US use them.

SVB is the future of banking, and Greg Becker, CEO of SVB, is leading the charge. When Greg started over 25 years ago, SVB only had $50 million assets under management. Now, they have $57 billion.

In this episode, Chad and Greg talk about how SVB is funding the next generation of leaders in the Valley and around the world. Greg also shares his philosophy for company and career growth and how he overcame one of the biggest mistakes of his career.
