Overview:
Since 1983, the Battery team has prided itself on avoiding the herd and on operating a little differently than other investors.

We have been fortunate to back some very big thinkers who have also carved their own paths, and we continue to seek out new visionaries every day.
Our firm was founded on a set of principles that remain the pillars of our investment philosophy: a concentration on technology and related sectors; a research-centric methodology for identifying and understanding large, emerging market opportunities; a proactive approach to finding driven entrepreneurs and compelling businesses; and daily involvement with every portfolio company.
This approach has helped us to build lasting, market-leading companies while delivering leading returns for investors. We have been fortunate to work with individuals who have set out to push technology boundaries at companies such as: Akamai Technologies, Allegiance Telecom, FORE Systems, HNC Software, Infoseek, LIFFE, MetroPCS, Neoteris, Nextel, Pixelworks, Qtera, SigmaTel, Vastera, and Witness Systems.
Battery has raised $4B since inception, and we are currently investing BV VIII, a $750M fund.
Our Investment Strategy
Through more than 25 years of technology investing, we have developed a keen understanding of how markets and customers work. We blend our first-hand knowledge with intensive research to uncover the most promising people, businesses and market opportunities.
This foundation makes us agile investors, experienced with companies that are diverse in many ways:
Across an array of technologies and related sectors: We focus on sectors where our expertise and connections can make an impact, including: Internet & Digital Media; Financial Services & Tech-Enabled Businesses; Clean Tech & Advanced Materials; Software; Semiconductors & Components; Infrastructure Technologies; Communication Services; and Industrial Technologies
At all stages of a company’s lifecycle: We are well-versed in working with management teams on traditional venture investments, ranging from seed to later stage. Our team is equally adept at sophisticated deal structures such as leveraged buyouts, PIPEs, spin outs, rollups and take-privates. We can also arrange debt and are willing to do secondary transactions.
In the most interesting geographies: Because talented entrepreneurs and great companies can be found worldwide, we are active investors across the U.S. and in Canada, Israel, India, China, and Europe.
We are typically the lead institutional investor in our portfolio companies and are flexible on the amount of our investment. We will start as low as a few hundred thousand dollars in seed money and are able to speak for up to $100 million. |
