Doing the High-Wire Act

When doesn’t change in 2023

The constants in another year of flux — As we kick off 2023, it’s tempting to focus only on what is changing in start-up land. What’s different, what’s new, what’s next? There’s a flurry of market outlooks, tech trends and annual predictions. We get to work inside this magical cauldron of disruption. Whether it’s done by us (innovation)…

2022 Perspectives: what’s top of mind for trailblazing GPs

At this point in 2021 it seems silly to make predictions for the year ahead. We are ending the year on another big loop in the COVID rollercoaster (screaming all the way down as Holiday and Q1 plans change, again). Whoa. You want my VC predictions for what happens in…

The Founder, CEO scorecard

What I look for in early stage founders (hint, it’s not pedigree!) When I made the leap from operating into venture earlier this year, I made a commitment to be as transparent as I can about how I operate as a VC. First off, transparency is what I would offer…

The ambidextrous career

It’s time to embrace talent mixing and domain hopping — I recently joined the venture world and as I go through the entry phase I am reminded once again of the amazing power of context switching in forging connection and collaboration between professional worlds. (By the way, I’ve had an amazing first few weeks. The NEA team could not be…

Starting a new chapter in venture — hello to NEA and fellow builders!

The Book Escape of 2020

This year, SIGH. This crazy insane 2020. A relentless barrage of maddening news, hyperbolic reactions and a rollercoaster of personal and societal events. Just sucking up all that perfectly good emotional energy, optimism and sanity. Where to escape from the noise? Books! At some point this year, I had to…

How to begin

We watched. We listened. We started the conversation. Now what… I cannot even begin to summarize this moment. My heart is breaking and my rage is brewing for the violent, dehumanizing, and deeply unfair reality that black Americans face. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Period. I know many of you are reflecting…

Zoom in for JOY

Perspective shift. It’s a strange thing that’s crept in over the last 40 days of this contained existence. As life has been stripped down to its essentials, I’m finding myself seeing and noticing more of what this daily life has to offer. I sit here on a weekday with my…
