Before becoming an author Marshall spent more than twenty years in venture banking and lending, including sixteen at Silicon Valley Bank where he held nine different roles across three countries. Most recently, he led SVB’s Relationship Management organization in Northern California and oversaw the bank’s in-house private credit team, the Strategic Capital Group.
Over his career, Marshall has worked with hundreds of startups—including Airbnb, Twitch, Fitbit, Planet Labs, Tubemogul, and Egnyte—giving him a front-row seat to how founders use (and sometimes misuse) venture debt.
Before joining SVB, he held venture lending roles at Wells Fargo, Greater Bay Venture Banking, and Comerica Bank. He holds a degree in economics from Sonoma State University and is the founder of Writing Is Hard Publishing, an independent imprint created to publish Venture Debt Deals.
Marshall lives in San Francisco with his wife and their two children.
