Private Equity Analyst, Industrial Tech and Life Science Tools Practice

Company Overview

Founded in 1983, Battery is a global, technology-focused investment firm pursuing the most prominent companies and ideas. We practice a collaborative, research-focused style of investing and regularly make early, growth, and buyout investments across category-leading technology companies. We have over 110 employees globally and work from six offices around the world: Boston, New York, San Francisco, Menlo Park, London and Tel Aviv. We work hard, but humbly, and are guided by data-driven processes. We seek out extraordinary business leaders who operate the same way. We are now investing our 14th family of funds, capitalized at $3.8 billion, and have raised more than $13 billion since inception.

Battery’s private equity practice leverages over four decades of experience identifying and building technology companies across all stages of development. We work with management teams to accelerate growth, access new markets and transform businesses in software, industrial technology, and life science tools sectors. We embrace complex situations and provide highly flexible capital to meet the needs of a diverse range of deal types, including buyouts of family or founder-owned companies; public-to-privates; and divisional carve-outs of business units.

Because we are technology experts, not just financial investors, we look beyond basic profit metrics to understand the true potential of a business. We invest in companies with revenue between $5 million and $200 million and build promising businesses into global technology leaders.
