History
Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was founded in 1982; its first office opened in 1983. The bank’s main strategy was collecting deposits from businesses financed through venture capital. It then expanded into banking and financing venture capitalists themselves, and added services aimed at allowing the bank to keep clients as they matured from their startup phase.[8]
In 1993, the bank's founding CEO, Roger V. Smith, was replaced by John C. Dean; Smith became Vice Chairman of the bank.[9] Smith left in 1994 to launch the Smith Venture Group}} [10]
In 2002, the bank began expanding its private banking business, which up to that point had been done primarily as a favor to wealthy venture capitalists and entrepreneurs,[11] through an office opened in downtown San Jose in 1988.[12]
In 2004, the bank opened international subsidiaries in Bangalore and London; in 2005 it opened offices in Beijing and Israel.[13] In 2006, the bank began operations in the U.K., opening its first branch in the that country in 2012.[6]
In December 2008, SVB Financial said it would get $235 million from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).[14] In December 2009, the bank repaid the loan, and repurchase the outstanding stock warrants held by the government, funding this through a stock sale of $300 million in November.[15]
In March 2011, the bank was named "Bank Of The Year" by the Ex-Im Bank.[16] In April, Ken Wilcox, who had been CEO since 2000, left that position, while remaining Chairman of the Board; he was replaced by Greg Becker.[17]
In November 2012, the bank announced a 50:50 joint venture with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPDB) which will provide capital to start-up technology entrepreneurs. It plans to begin with lending to tech businesses in the Shanghai region, ad then expand to other Chinese cities. [18]
