New Enterprise Associates, known by the acronym NEA, has closed a new pair of early-stage and growth-stage funds, both hovering a little over $3 billion to a total of $6.2 billion.
The two-fund structure is a first that begets another first for the 45-year old firm: TechCrunch has learned that NEA has filed to be considered as a registered investment adviser, which, if passed, would give the firm a status similar to the likes of other storied firms including Andreessen Horowitz, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital.
