Description: Two (2) rare early 1990s "Silicon Valley Bank" Pinback Marketing Buttons in "Near Mint" condition! Here is your opportunity to own a couple of extraordinary pieces of Silicon Valley venture banking history, all-time Silicon Valley collector’s items! Way back in 1991, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was growing fast and pioneering the tech banking industry, eventually become the dominant supporter of the nation’s entrepreneurial landscape for the next three decades! Listing is for both buttons: 1. "Did You Know? $.5 Billion and Growing" (amazingly, the bank would grow 400x that size to more than $209 billion in assets by the end of 2022. 2. "I Love (heart) My Clients" (Ah, ....the unfortunate irony!) Sadly, SVB's epic run as an innovative industry pioneer came to a sad, disastrous end in early 2023, due largely to unusually aggressive and rapid Fed interest rate hikes in response to runaway inflation, primarily caused by excessive, indiscriminate spending programs during COVID...and ok, maybe a questionable move or two by the bank's investment committee. Depositors panicked, pulled their money, started a bank run and ruined the lives of thousands. Terrible and historic at the same time!
