Founder Testimonials
"As the CEO of manufacturing-software company CAMBRIO, which was acquired in 2021 by Sweden's Sandvik, I could not have asked for a better partner than Battery Ventures. Immediately upon their initial investment in the company in 2018, it was clear that the team was experienced in and extremely knowledgeable about our market, well-networked and proved always helpful in many areas including strategy, recruiting, and sourcing acquisitions."
"Battery Ventures has truly put the 'essential' in Clubessential Holdings since the inception of our multi-year, successful partnership. The entire Battery team has provided exceptional operational and strategic advice at every stage in our journey. From helping us make 18 acquisitions in five countries, to supporting our operations, Battery provides the energy, intellect, pattern recognition and personal touch."
"Several years ago, we realized we would need external equity financing to support our growing operations, launch new products and enter new markets. We had been speaking with Battery since 2013 -- they were our favorite partner choice because of their history in SaaS investments."
