To help position Bay Area startups to grow their companies, Technology Credit Union and consulting and management firm Access Growth LLC have formed a partnership to offer support.

Through the Access Growth Venture Center located in Santa Clara, Calif., 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.

"We have a well established and successful history of serving the high tech members in the area and we understand their unique needs," said Sarah Samuels, assistant vice president of business services at $1.2 billion Tech CU in San Jose, Calif., which started in 1960 serving employees from Fairchild National Semiconductor.

Access Growth CEO Mark Godwin said the credit union has supported employees of some of the largest tech companies in Silicon Valley.

"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," Godwin said.
