New Enterprise Associates

New Enterprise Associates (NEA) is one of the world's largest and longest-running venture capital firms, founded in 1977 by Dick Kramlich, Chuck Newhall, and Frank Bonsal. Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with offices in Timonium (Maryland), New York, and London, NEA invests across the full company lifecycle — "from idea to IPO" — spanning seed, Series A, and later growth rounds. The firm has raised over $27 billion in committed capital (as of December 31, 2024) and organizes into specialized practice groups across two core sectors: technology (enterprise software, consumer, fintech, AI, infrastructure) and healthcare (biopharma, life sciences, digital health, and medical devices). NEA is known for an active, hands-on partnership model and long-term support of category-defining companies, with a portfolio that has produced many notable IPOs and acquisitions including Cloudflare, MongoDB, Robinhood, Coursera, Databricks, Plaid, and Tempus.
