NEA's Kittu Kolluri on Entrepreneurship Part I

18:19 | Kamla Bhatt | Jul 10th, 2007 2:34pm |

NEA’s Managing Partner Kittu Kolluri is an engineer turned entrepreneur turned investor. I met with Kittu at NEA’s Sand Hill Road Office in Menlo Park to find out how he made this transistion from being an engineer to an investor.

Kittu started his engineering career at SGI, and while there got to know Jim Clarke, who went on to co-found Netscape and Healtheon. Kittu was one of the co-founders of Healtheon.

Kittu is also featured in Michael Lewis’ bestseller book published in 1999 The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story.

After Healtheon, Kittu went to lead a networking startup called Neoteris that was acquired by Netscreen, which in turn was acquired by Juniper Networks.

Kittu joined NEA in January 2006 and sits on the boards of Nevis Networks, PortAuthority, RingThree Technologies, and SnapTell. He co-leads the NEA IndoUS Fund along with Vinod Dham and Vani Kola.

Kittu is a graduate of IIT, Madras and State University of New York, Buffalo.
