About Battery Ventures

Background and context for founders evaluating this investor.

Battery Ventures is a global technology investment firm founded in 1983 that backs companies from seed through growth and private equity. With offices across the US, Europe and Israel and more than five hundred historical investments, Battery is best known for software and infrastructure franchises. For Indian founders, Battery is relevant when building globally oriented enterprise or AI products — a recent example is Freehand, an enterprise AI company founded by Indian entrepreneurs, where Battery co-led a $75 million Series B. Typical engagement is thesis-driven and relationship-led rather than India-desk outbound. Founders should expect a global diligence standard and clear sector fit in application software, infrastructure software, consumer technology or industrial tech. Cheque sizes scale with stage. Battery is not an India-HQ fund; treat it as Active India cheque / Indian-founder capital rather than a local Series A default.

With offices across the US, Europe and Israel and more than five hundred historical investments, Battery is best known for software and infrastructure franchises.

Notes

Boston/SF/Israel/London multi-stage firm. Recent India-relevant cheque: co-led Freehand Series B (Indian founders, enterprise AI). Offices in Boston, SF, Menlo Park, NYC, London, Tel Aviv.

Investment criteria

Category-defining software and tech businesses with strong product and GTM; stage-flexible from seed to PE.

Data confidence: Verified (web sources, 2025–26)
