New Enterprise Associates, Inc. · Baltimore, MD United States

New Enterprise Associates (NEA) has a continuing mission: to seek out and fund new startups, and to boldly go where no VC has gone before! Well, maybe that's a tad overdramatic, but the firm does provide venture capital and growth-equity backing to development-stage and emerging companies involved in information technology (communications, electronics, computer hardware, and software) and health care (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and health care IT and services) in the US, China, and India. The company is making inroads in new energy technologies as well. In 2010 NEA closed its latest venture fund, worth nearly $2.5 billion, upping its capital under management to some $11 billion. To read the full description, subscribe now.
