This partnership, led by our venture banking team, including Jade Tran and myself, continues to connect early-stage Southern California startups with venture capital opportunities. Since 2021, the program has facilitated $112 million in funding across 24 companies and three acquisitions. We're proud to support the growth of our local innovation ecosystem and look forward to further empowering all entrepreneurs in the region.
