About NEA

Helping to Build Companies by Investing in Ideas

Every entrepreneur knows the thrill of a great idea—and has felt the pride of nurturing that vision and watching it grow. When it comes time to take that promising business to the next level, entrepreneurs want a venture partner who shares that spirit and knows what it takes to make a company succeed.

Remaining Nimble As We’ve Grown

NEA has been helping to build great companies since 1978. Our committed capital has grown to approximately $8.5 billion and we’ve funded more than 550 companies in the IT and healthcare sectors. Yet, even as we’ve grown, we’ve remained nimble—able to respond quickly to shifting markets and emerging opportunities.

An Uncommon Blend of People and Vision

A lasting record of success, like NEA’s, is no fluke and a solid reputation cannot be created from thin air. Success takes an uncommon blend of the right people, the vision, the very best opportunities, and—of course—the capital.

Your Success – Our Yardstick

NEA is the entrepreneur’s venture capital firm. The NEA model is built on the philosophy of team achievement and we collectively measure our success by the ultimate yardstick—our entrepreneurs' success. With NEA as your venture partner, you will be supported by a deep and committed team wholly intent upon your success.

For the Long Term, Not a Quick Turn

NEA entrepreneurs welcome the sustaining capital we offer, but they soon come to value us for a deeper reason: the wealth of insight and expertise we offer. NEA helps entrepreneurs build strong businesses for the long term, not the quick turn.

Performance at Every Stage

Whether you are seeking investment to get your idea off the ground or looking to fuel a proven idea toward greatness, NEA is the partner who helps you make it happen at every stage.
