When the Boston Globe opened a Rhode Island bureau and assigned one of its reporters to cover innovation in the state, SVM was there to provide him with a valuable resource – the Slater Technology Fund, which has been investing in Rhode Island technology innovations for more than two decades. SVM lined up an interview for the reporter with Slater managing director Thorne Sparkman, and the ensuing exchange was featured in the Globe. The article led to a surge of interest in Slater and its portfolio companies from entrepreneurs and investors throughout the region.
