Battery Ventures is a global, technology-focused investment firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional offices in San Francisco, Menlo Park, New York, London, and Tel Aviv. Battery invests across every stage of a company's life, from seed and early-stage venture through growth equity and private-equity buyouts, giving the firm a distinctive multi-stage perspective on technology markets. Its core areas of focus are application software, infrastructure software, consumer technology, and industrial tech plus life-science tools. As of 2025 the firm reports having invested in more than 530 companies over its 40-plus-year history, of which roughly 70 have gone public and another 185 have been merged or acquired. Battery is currently investing out of its 15th flagship fund, Battery Ventures XV, capitalized at $3.25 billion, and has raised more than $16 billion across all of its funds since inception. The firm describes itself as decisive, hard-working, and thesis-driven, backing category-defining companies including Affirm, Amplitude, AppDynamics, Avalara, Akamai, Coupa, Wonolo, and many others. This profile tracks Battery Ventures' identity and its portfolio graph across the API Evangelist network.
Firms are ranked by cumulative portfolio strength — how many highly-rated API companies they've backed, weighted by tier across composite quality and agent-readiness. The averages below are a secondary read on the typical company in the book.
Battery Ventures has 671 portfolio companies tracked on the APIs.io network, of which 179 (27%) publish APIs indexed here. The remaining 491 are tracked as profiles without a published API on the network.
Its highest-rated API providers on the network are Confluent, Harness, Optimizely, Postman, Gainsight.

The 357 portfolio companies with APIs in the catalog, backed by
Battery Ventures, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from
the catalog — nothing here is written.
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the
“Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own
coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.

mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
This roster declares 670 members; 640
resolve to a provider in the catalog and 357 carry a score
(56%). The figures above describe the scored members only. Coverage caveat. 313 of 357 scored members had under half their catalog-attributable points satisfied at all (catalog_earned / catalog_max < 0.5). They are INCLUDED in the mean above. A large share here means the cohort mean is partly a measurement of how far our enrichment reached, not only of how these providers publish.Generated from the catalog build of
3 October 2026, across 28834
providers, using the same computation served by the
APIs.io cohort API. Briefs are published for rosters of
5 or more scored providers; below that a distribution is not meaningful.
