When it comes to venture capital firms, few come bigger than New Enterprise Associates. With $11 billion under management, including a $2.6 billion pot raised 18 months ago that ranks among the largest in history, NEA operates from bases in Menlo Park, Maryland and Mumbai.

Among those Menlo Park investors is Jon Sakoda, co-head of the firm's seed-stage practice. He drops in on Elevator Pitch this week to talk about why even a giant invests in tiny companies.
