Chevy Chase, Md. – New Enterprise Associates (NEA), the Chevy Chase-based venture capital firm, has led a new $10 million round of funding for San Francisco-based Stitcher, the developer of a personalized Internet talk radio service delivered directly to mobile devices. Previous backers Benchmark Capital, New Atlantic Ventures and individuals including Ron Conway also participated in the company’s third round.
