Silicon Valley Bank Data Project

In January 2011, two representatives Silicon Valley Bank gave a presentation at the Haas business school, organized by Jerry Engel of the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The purpose of this presentation was to explore the possibility of having Haas PhD students and faculty conduct research with the SVB's data. This page details findings from that meeting and the follow-up on-site meeting between SVB and Haas's representative, Ed Egan.
