Mark Lau Silicon Valley Bank Unethical, Inappropriate, Scumbag, Venture Banker Menlo Park, California
Do not do business with this individual. While he certainly puts on a good face for funds with "Tier 1" funds with recent wins, his professionalism is ethereal at best, and quickly dissipates the moment you ask anything in return.
I took issue with some questionable bait-and-switch type term sheets that he put on the table for some friends companies in the past, and how he treated those companies when they went sideways, but had not done business with him directly until recently. Now that I've had direct interactions with him at the fund level, I've recommended we change our banking relationship as well as that of our portfolio companies.
Do not do allow your fund or your portfolio companies do business with either Mark Lau or Silicon Valley Bank.
