Battery Ventures is a global, technology-focused investment firm that has been backing founders and talented teams since 1983. The firm partners with companies building category-defining businesses at all stages of growth — from seed through growth equity and traditional buyouts — operating a stage-agnostic model under a single brand. Battery invests in potentially cutting-edge businesses across application software, IT infrastructure, consumer internet and mobile, industrial technologies, fintech, healthcare IT, and life science tools, with a thematic, research-driven approach that emphasizes AI transformation, cybersecurity, and industrial technology as key focus areas. Currently investing from Battery Ventures XV ($3.25B), the firm targets AI across the full stack — infrastructure, developer tools, and vertical applications — emphasizing companies that enable or operationalize AI rather than merely experiment with it. Battery's investment philosophy is complemented by a deep portfolio-services platform offering hands-on support in talent, go-to-market, business development, marketing, and finance, reflecting its belief that long-term value creation requires both capital and operational partnership.
Notable quotes
“Financial resources have been split about equally between three components: early stage, growth stage and traditional buyouts.”
“I've been an investor at Battery Ventures for 25+ years now and can probably count on one hand the number of times I've seen POCs quickly scale into seven and eight-figure deals. That's what we're seeing with Blitzy.”
“Battery is targeting AI across the full stack: infrastructure (compute, data platforms), developer tools, and vertical applications. The strategy emphasizes companies that enable or operationalize AI rather than just experiment with it.”
