Eric led investments in enterprise software companies such as Confluent and Amplitude, both of which IPO'ed in 2021. He is also an investor and board member at Cerebras Systems, Benchling and Contentful, all of which have multi-billion-dollar valuations. Before joining Benchmark, he was cofounder and CEO of social web browser Rockmelt, which failed and was scooped up by Yahoo in 2013 for $70 million. Vishria, who graduated from Stanford at age 19, led the Series A round in monitoring startup Pixie Labs, which was acquired by publicly traded platform New Relic two months later.
