Who We Are
New Enterprise Associates (you can call us NEA) is a global venture capital firm focused on helping entrepreneurs build transformational businesses across multiple stages, sectors and geographies. Founded in 1977, NEA has over $25 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023 and invests in technology and healthcare companies at all stages in a company’s lifecycle, from seed stage through IPO. The firm's long track record of investing includes more than 270 portfolio company IPOs and more than 450 mergers and acquisitions. We are investors; but we are also technologists, inventors, operators, physicians, researchers, marketers and, yes, even entrepreneurs. We bring all these disciplines together under one global fund, united by a shared passion for innovation and a collaborative culture. Our broad perspective and deep expertise allows us to spot trends early, move fast, and build to scale. We love what we do and we believe that our work will make a difference—from time-saving technologies to life-saving therapies, and a whole lot in between.
