This Investor Hub is where investors get free access to verified deal flow from founders who've completed the SVBS Startup Funding Program, request pitch materials, track any venture's progress in real time, and join Conference Center events. Enrol free, no obligation.

The founders you see here have graduated from the SVBS Startup Funding Program against a published standard: nine required courses passed, required milestones logged, a minimum Momentum Score reached, and mock investor pitches completed. Readiness is verified before anything reaches you.

Once enrolled, you get:

• The Graduate Pitch Panel — video pitches from Startup Funding Program graduates, browsable by sector, stage, and round size.
• Direct connection — request pitch materials from any venture that interests you.
• Stakeholder tracking — with the founder's approval, free viewer access to a venture's Milestone Progress system: milestones completed, milestones targeted next, and the live Momentum Score. The same picture the founder sees, before you engage, through diligence, and for as long as you hold a position.
• Conference Center events — webinars, investor Q&A sessions, and networking gatherings that put you in the room with graduates. Join from any browser.

SVBS educates founders and provides a shared progress framework. It does not broker securities, give investment advice, or endorse any venture — you evaluate and decide for yourself.

The Startup Funding Program is a structured, self-paced path that prepares founders to raise capital — and connects them with investors ready to listen. It's built for entrepreneurs who are serious about funding their venture and want a clear, proven route to becoming investment ready.

The program works toward a published graduation standard that means the same thing to every investor in the SVBS network. To graduate, you'll pass the nine required courses, hit the required milestones and reach the minimum Momentum Score in the Milestone Progress system, and complete a series of mock investor pitches — revising and re-pitching until you're ready for the real thing. You're guided the whole way: Sandy, our AI investor guide built from decades on Sand Hill Road, runs your mock pitches and reviews your deck; Sherpa guides your milestones and momentum; and Prof tutors you across the required courses.

Once you graduate, you earn a graduation certificate that investors in the network recognize, gain access to a directory of thousands of investors organized by sector, stage, and round size, and can invite investors to follow your progress live as Stakeholders. Because your graduate status certifies the work is done, your pitches are taken more seriously.
