SVB Financial Group: Good move before Venture Focused MBA?

SVB-What's the word on these guys? Obviously not IB, rather C Banking for Early Stage Tech and Life Science companies. Seems like a good chance to build a network of entrepreneurs and VC's. Good move before Venture Focused MBA?

All I know is that they are in the whole SV community and have their hands in a lot of deals/see a lot of deals from start ups. Would say networking would be great from it, not sure about actual work flow though...

 

I think you can't go wrong with SVB if venture is your thing - you'll be working with all the companies and investors, a great way to build network.

 

How funny, just noticed I previously replied to this post roughly a year ago. Within that year I started interacting with SVB and as I just said, they are great.
