SANTA MONICA, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Valence, the community to connect and empower Black professionals, and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the bank of the world's most innovative companies and their investors, will host a series of inspiring and educational virtual events this summer for Black professionals.
The Valence Boost Challenge Virtual Event Series, presented by Silicon Valley Bank, will provide access to Black leaders in the innovation economy and unite the community during these challenging times. The series will include:
As part of the Valence Boost Challenge, event speakers are offering Boosts - 30 minute mentorship session via the Valence platform. Event attendees and Valence community members have the opportunity to request Boost mentorship sessions from these and hundreds of other Black leaders participating in the Boost Challenge. By the end of August Valence aims to offer 5,000 Boosts.
"Our goal is to support black professional growth and pathways to success and we saw this partnership with SVB as a great way to build community and provide authentic support across the Innovation Economy during a very challenging time," said Kobie Fuller, CoFounder of Valence and GP at Upfront Ventures.
Increasing diverse representation in the innovation economy is the focus of SVB's Access to Innovation program. For years SVB clients have shared that their top challenge is finding talent with the skills needed to grow their businesses. SVB recognizes that diverse workforces create strong companies, and a great way to find new talent pools is to look both outside of traditional networks and to make the extra effort to look in untraditional places. Through Access to Innovation programs, partnerships and financing, SVB provides educational and job opportunities for emerging talent, encourages gender parity and diversity in leadership, and makes connections for female and minority founders and investors.
Silicon Valley Bank supported Valence's Black History Month Spotlight event in February at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles. The event focused on uniting and empowering black professionals across LA and allowed them to give back to the community. Throughout the day, young professionals from South LA were paired up with Industry Leaders for mentorship roundtable discussions and more than 400 attendees participated in the reception that evening. Check out the event recap here.
"SVB is proud to bank clients like Valence who are providing real solutions to accessing and uplifting remarkable, diverse talent," said Courtney Karnes, Director of SVB's Access to Innovation Program. "We've built this Virtual Event Series with a goal of creating connection, strengthening community and providing mentorship and career growth opportunities for professionals of color."
