Sponsors Testimonials

A Huge Thanks to Our Supporters

Startup Haven cannot do what we do without generous support from our corporate members and we are grateful for the help of some of the best startup support organizations in the world.

Silicon Valley Bank has been supporting Startup Haven in various capacity for more than a decade. From dinners to poker games to boat cruises, the team at SVB has always shown up with enthusiasm, integrity and a generous spirit.

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to formally endorse Startup Haven. I have been personally involved as a sponsor for over a decade. What makes this valuable for me and my organization is that it is a regular/monthly gathering with a very well curated group of entrepreneurs, VC’s, Angel investors and other key players in the startup community. The size of the group is very manageable to make connections and the casual environment is conducive to fostering on-gong relationships as there is a good mix of regulars was well as new comers each month. Over the years I have had the opportunity to assist dozens of groups which more than justifies our continued involvement. I would be happy to connect with anyone that is interested to provide more detailed information about my experience with Bob and his team at Startup Haven.

Our relationship with the CBRE team dates back nearly 15 years, to the earliest years for Startup Haven when Seattle rep, Tony Ford, was our first-ever real estate sponsor.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Startup Haven’s Seattle chapter for many years. Because of the unique format and the selective curation to include only founders and investors at their events, my participation has allowed me to establish connections that have lasted years through the vulnerability you’re allowed in a curated environment.
