In the past decade, family offices have emerged as a significant source of capital fueling innovation globally, according to SVB Financial Group, the parent company of Silicon Valley Bank. The firm has released "Family Offices Investing in Venture Capital — Global Trends & Insights Report" in partnership with Campden Wealth Research.
“[Family offices] are increasingly more open and active in venture, particularly in early-stage companies through direct investments and funds,” said John China, president of SVB Capital. “Our research with Campden Wealth shows that family offices are seeing favorable returns in the asset class, and they are acting as strategic advisors and champions to the startups they invest in. We expect to see more family office investors in the venture ecosystem, collaborating and syndicating with like-minded investors and providing a differentiated pool of capital to founders.”
