SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - Technology Credit Union (Tech CU), among the
nation's largest credit unions, and Access Growth LLC, a Silicon
Valley-based global growth consulting and innovation management firm, have
announced they have created a unique partnership designed to help both
companies better serve the early stage and emerging growth companies that
have become synonymous with the Bay Area.
Through the relationship with Access Growth, Tech CU's business members can
take advantage of strategic growth and innovation management services
necessary to successfully grow their companies through a proprietary 360°
commercialization process. In addition, through the Access Growth Venture
Center(SM), located in Santa Clara, California, Tech CU business members
will have access to additional growth management services, office
infrastructure or virtual office solutions, and conference rooms that can
be scheduled at a preferred member rate.
"As a financial institution, Tech CU is especially suited to working with
Access Growth LLC because we've grown up with Silicon Valley," states Sarah
Samuels, AVP of Business Services at Tech CU. "We have a well established
and successful history of serving the high tech members in the area and we
understand their unique needs. We opened our doors in 1960 when employees
from Fairchild Camera and Instrument Semiconductor Division decided they
wanted to start a credit union, and we've been serving entrepreneurs and
technology employees ever since. Now, with our partnership with Access
Growth LLC, we'll be able to offer them even more services to help them
maximize the growth potential of their businesses."
"We chose Technology Credit Union because it met all the requirements
Access Growth LLC was seeking in a financial institution for our clients,"
says Mark Godwin, CEO of Access Growth LLC. "Tech CU has supported the
employees of some of the largest tech companies in the valley. Through
their support of the high tech community, their employees and families in
the Valley, Tech CU plays an integral part in the success of driving
innovation and corporate growth."
He further states, "We're excited about this partnership because CEOs of
early stage and emerging growth companies will have the access to the
financial products and the best in class support services they need to
maintain operations and accelerate their growth."
