At NEA, innovation is not confined to our portfolio of entrepreneurs. With almost three decades of venture experience, the NEA team brings new investment strategies to an industry built on innovation. Today NEA helps companies grow on a large scale through what we call “Venture Growth Equity” investing. Venture Growth Equity investments entail the same risk profile and return characteristics of traditional venture capital, but require significantly more equity dollars. In order to facilitate growth, these companies are in need of a unique financial partner possessing significant venture growth experience and substantial capital capabilities.

Today's global environment rewards first movers, meaning companies no longer have the luxury to wait for sufficient capital flows to fund geographic expansions. At the same time, domestic compliance hurdles prevent some of the most promising companies from accessing capital in the public markets. The changed environment demands a new type of capital - venture growth equity.

NEA's Strategy

Over the years, NEA has developed the broad domain expertise, proprietary relationships, capital capabilities, and company building skills that Venture Growth Equity investments require. NEA identified this large-scale venture approach, and with a proven track record and an experienced team, it now has a compelling position. Our Venture Growth Equity strategy complements our traditional early stage proficiency, and allows NEA to pursue opportunities in one powerful stage-agnostic global strategy.
