What they look for

Battery believes that the best technology investments span all growth stages-from early-stage seed companies to mature businesses acquiring other tech companies or going public. They practice collaborative, research-focused investing with embedded operational support through their Portfolio Services platform. They seek technical founders with deep domain expertise and experienced operators building in four core sectors: Application Software, Infrastructure Software, Consumer, and Industrial Tech + Life Science Tools. They also look for geographic presence in major tech hubs across the U.S., Europe, and Israel.
