This week's Executive Ventures TEAM Referral Network member of the week is Lucy Romero with Torrey Pines Bank. Lucy is fairly new to our chapter and we are so excited to have her. On her first meeting I happened to sit next to her and shared my pains of having Wells Fargo as a primary bank. Lucy approaches banking differently from the ground up. Her focus is on relationships in a very authentic way, this lady walks the walk. She organizes a group on the South Bay to bring resources to small businesses: https://www.sbelevate.org/. She understands the struggles small business owners go through and she is there to support them by connecting them with other vital vendors, not just banking. Lucy has hit the ground running with our group and she has been a great addition. If you are looking for traditional financing, or need SBA resources she is able to offer both SBA 504 and 7A loans in addition to a full banking relationship. If you are interested in checking out our chapter, we still have a few openings. Message me or one of our group members for an invitation. We meet Tuesdays from 9:00-10:30am at Venture X San Diego - Scripps Ranch.
