Connect Ventures

Investing in next-wave entrepreneurs at the intersection of culture + commerce. Connect Ventures began as an investment partnership between leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and global venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Launched in 2020 to accelerate the growth of early-stage consumer-focused businesses, Connect Ventures was built on CAA’s resources, relationships, and expertise spanning the global entertainment and sports landscape and the deep domain and company-building expertise of NEA’s experienced technology practice. Founder-driven and consumer-obsessed, Connect Ventures invests in transformational businesses and encourages and facilitates connectivity among the companies in its deeply curated portfolio.
