NewView Capital

NewView Capital is a distinctive venture capital firm based in Burlingame, California, known for its innovative approach to growth-stage investing. Spun out of Andreessen Horowitz's growth fund in 2018, the firm adopted a unique model that combines traditional direct primary investments with opportunistic secondary transactions, including acquiring entire portfolios from other venture firms or limited partners. This flexible strategy allows NewView Capital to provide liquidity and growth capital to technology companies at various stages, from Series B through pre-IPO. The firm manages over $2.2 billion in capital across multiple funds, demonstrating significant financial capacity to support its portfolio companies.

NewView Capital primarily focuses on high-growth technology companies across diverse sectors, including enterprise software, fintech, consumer internet, and healthcare tech. Their investment philosophy emphasizes sustainable growth and operational support, aiming to partner with founders to navigate the complexities of scaling a business. Unlike many traditional VCs, their ability to engage in secondary transactions offers a unique value proposition for founders seeking alternative liquidity options or for LPs looking to rebalance their portfolios. This dual approach provides founders with flexible capital solutions tailored to their specific growth trajectories and market conditions.

Typical initial investment sizes for NewView Capital generally range from tens of millions to over a hundred million dollars, reflecting their focus on later-stage growth rounds. For instance, the firm led a $30 million Series B round for Turing, an AI-powered talent platform, showcasing their commitment to leading significant early growth investments. They have also demonstrated the capacity for larger commitments, such as leading a $100 million Series F round for the fraud prevention platform Forter. These investments underscore their role as a significant capital provider for companies poised for substantial expansion. NewView Capital's model is designed to offer long-term partnership and strategic guidance, leveraging their deep industry expertise to foster enduring success for their portfolio companies.
