Succeeding Together—the NEA Way

In addition to possessing ideas and energy, an entrepreneur must also be a shrewd judge of talent. The most successful companies start as a small collection of exceptional business minds aligned and focused on a common goal.

A Network More Valuable than Capital

By partnering with NEA, our entrepreneurs invite into their camp a deep and committed network of experienced business minds, successful entrepreneurs, vendors, and potential customers. This network, respected for its insight and its steady hand, is unmatched in the venture investment field and is perhaps more valuable to our portfolio companies than capital itself.

Build On Who We Know

NEA shares hundreds of relationships with established private companies and successful entrepreneurs. And NEA has longstanding solid relationships with leading universities, major corporations, investment bankers, institutional investors, strategic investors, accounting, law, and commercial banking firms who, together, all help to make for successful companies.

East Coast to West—Proximity Matters

With offices in Menlo Park, California; Chevy Chase, Maryland; and, Baltimore, Maryland, NEA operates close to the people and places where much of the leading IT and Medical thinking happens. We have the geographic reach to operate virtually next door to our portfolio partners.

Staying on the Forefront

Our presence in these key locations allows us to identify and track major industry trends from the earliest moments and to assess competing projects quickly to stay at the forefront of our industry. While NEA is located in these strategic locations, we look for successful companies wherever they may be—Chicago to China and anywhere between.

NEA’s strategic relationships help us to:

• originate investment opportunities before our competition;
• evaluate new technologies quickly; and
• recruit experienced business executives, board members and advisors.
