Avidbank Holdings, Inc.
A Bay Area commercial bank that lends to businesses through five divisions, including a Venture Lending arm that backs cash-burning tech startups and a national Specialty Finance group for sponsor-backed and asset-based lending. Founded in 2003 as The Private Bank of the Peninsula, it renamed itself Avidbank in 2011 — a nod to the word "avid," reflecting its broader ambitions beyond its original home turf — and moved its headquarters to San Jose in 2018. The company went public in 2025.
