Battery Ventures
States it has invested in technology companies globally since 1983 and has backed more than 450 companies over its forty-year history. Operates from Boston, San Francisco, Menlo Park, Tel Aviv, London and New York.
Criteria: States that Battery Ventures XV, the fund it is currently investing from, is capitalised at $3.25 billion. Invests across four named areas: application software, infrastructure software, consumer, and industrial technology and life science tools. Publishes no check sizes and no stage-by-stage criteria.
What this means for your pitchWork out whether your round is large enough to matter to a $3.25 billion fund before you spend time on the fit. A flagship of that size has to deploy in quantity, so however well your sector matches, a first cheque into a pre-seed company is not what this vehicle is built to do.
