Before we begin this letter, we’d like to acknowledge that the Silicon Valley Bank and its branches in Santa Clara County are built upon land originally under the stewardship of the Chumash Nations of Indigenous Peoples. We honor the contribution of the Chumash Nations to the banking and capital needs of our community and its many businesses, start-ups, and risk-capital institutions.
As you may have heard, the Silicon Valley Bank is currently transitioning. Our partner in this transition is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (they/them).
