Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, a Silicon Valley-based firm with strong ties to the tech and startup world, has announced summer bonuses for associates, following a strong start financially in the first half of 2019.

“One of the key factors in our success is the critical contributions [of] our associates,” said founding partner Robert Gunderson Jr. The bonus “is a recognition that things are going really well, and the partners aren’t the only party who is responsible. We felt this was the appropriate step to take.”
