About the 2019 <br />Mirador View <br />The Tri -Valley's growth has reached new <br />heights. Now in the fourth year of research for <br />this publication, we've seen each year build <br />upon the last. We've witnessed the creation of <br />the region's first dedicated venture capital fund, <br />skyrocketing public company performance and <br />startup companies achieve unicorn status. <br />The most notable theme of 2o18 was the <br />repeated emphasis on the quality of people <br />Living in the Tri-ValLey. We were fortunate to <br />interview several founders, CEOs and CFOs of a <br />number of successful companies headquartered <br />in the Tri -Valley. We met with one of the hottest <br />new startups in the country, Lambda School, <br />and learned how they're disrupting the future <br />of college education. We had a fascinating <br />conversation with Tim Prendergast, founder of <br />Evident.io, about the importance of providing <br />a high quality of life for his employees. We <br />dug deeper into the growth story of Veeva and <br />also heard from the latest public company <br />to move their headquarters here. TriNet. <br />In each conversation, founders and executives <br />credited the exceptional talent they found <br />in the Tri -Valley and the wonderful quality <br />of life which attracts them, with enabling <br />their companies to grow and thrive. <br />Another notable theme which emerged from <br />our research was the diversity and resilience <br />of the Tri -Valley economy. In a year where <br />public equity markets struggled and San <br />Francisco and Silicon Valley experienced net <br />negative migration, Tri -Valley public companies <br />excelled and the population continued to <br />grow. We believe the fundamental qualities <br />that are driving this region's growth will <br />also build resilience in our local economy <br />even in times of broader market volatility. <br />We're excited to share the development and <br />progress of the region's economic drivers, <br />additions to the innovative ecosystem, <br />groundbreaking technologies and the <br />continued success of public and private <br />companies headquartered here. Companies <br />are starting, growing and succeeding at <br />remarkable rates and we are excited to <br />present these success stories and explore <br />their drivers within the pages of this report. <br />We hope you enjoy this update. <br />- Mirador Capital Partners <br />
