Vanessa Larco left a nearly decade-long Partner role at NEA to co-found Premise, a new venture fund that backs technical founding teams building category-defining companies.
At NEA she backed Robinhood through its 2021 IPO and led the firm's investment in Greenlight. She held board seats at Mejuri, Assembled and Cleo. Earlier she worked as a product leader at Box, Microsoft and Twilio and founded and sold her own startup.
Premise uses an "OpenAI won't kill it" framework.
