Dixon Doll of DCM Elected Chairman of NVCA Board of Directors, Six New Directors Also Named to NVCA


Santa Clara, CA (May 7, 2008) – The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) has named
Dixon R. Doll, co-founder and general partner of Menlo Park-based DCM, as its 2008-2009
chairman. Dr. Doll’s chairmanship was announced today at the 2008 NVCA Annual Meeting at
the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, CA.

He succeeds Ted Schlein, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, who has completed his oneyear
tenure as NVCA chairman. Mr. Schlein’s leadership was instrumental during the past year
when public policy issues critical to the health of the venture capital industry, such as the carried
interest tax rate, were actively debated on Capitol Hill. Dr. Doll is looking forward to assuming
this important role.

“As the NVCA celebrates its 35th anniversary, we remain dedicated to our core mission – to
support and encourage policies which serve America’s entrepreneurs and innovators,” said Dixon
Doll, co-founder and general partner, DCM, and chairman of the NVCA Board of Directors. “In
the next year we will continue to focus on high impact areas such as clean technology policy,
patent reform, tax policy and regulations which support a healthy capital market system and
overall U.S. competitiveness,” Doll added.

“Dixon is a seasoned investor with vast experience in the global venture capital arena. His
perspective will add great value to the association and the constituents and audiences we serve,”
said Mark Heesen, president, National Venture Capital Association. “His vision, combined with
the expertise of our incoming board members, promises to move the venture capital industry
forward in a meaningful way,” Heesen added.

The six new NVCA Board Members are: James Fleming, Columbia Capital; Stephen Holmes,
InterWest Partners; Deepak Kamra, Canaan Partners; Jack Lasersohn, The Vertical Group;
Trevor Loy, Flywheel Ventures; and Ray Rothrock, Venrock Associates. Each will serve a four
year term.

Retiring from the NVCA Board of Directors after successfully completing their respective four
year terms are Peter Barris, New Enterprise Associates; Michael Cronin, Weston Presidio; Rob
Ketterson, Fidelity Ventures; Joanna Rees, VSP Capital; Ted Schlein, Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers; and Chad Waite, OVP Ventures.
