🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Battery is the rare VC firm that actually knows what they're doing with industrial tech and vertical software — not just another fund chasing consumer trends. Their partners have genuine operating experience and they stick around post-investment. The downside? They can be painfully slow to make decisions and their process is more rigorous than most founders expect. They're also not the fund to go to if you want quick checks or flashy brand names. But if you're building boring software that makes real money, particularly in industrial or B2B contexts, Battery gets it in a way that most Sand Hill Road firms don't.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • —Best for: B2B SaaS and industrial tech companies with proven metrics
  • —Watch out for: Slow decision-making process and extensive due diligence
  • —Known for: Deep sector expertise and long-term partnership approach
Investment Thesis

Battery focuses on application software and industrial technology companies, particularly those applying software to transform traditional industries. They invest across stages from Series A through growth, with a sweet spot in B2B SaaS and industrial automation.

Stage & Sector Focus

Series A to growth stage, heavily concentrated in enterprise software, industrial tech, and infrastructure. Portfolio skews toward B2B SaaS companies with proven unit economics and clear path to $100M+ revenue.
