About Opus Capital:

At Opus Capital, we're energized and excited about venture investing. The outlook for early-stage technology companies is very promising, especially for investors with a long history of success and deep operating experience.

We are here to help entrepreneurs build great companies. Over the years, we've developed strong relationships with many entrepreneurs who come to us time and again with their new ventures. With each company in our portfolio, we work to accelerate growth—helping entrepreneurs build strong, sustainable enterprises. We do this by facilitating key relationships, providing access to critical resources and giving counsel on strategy, finance and operations.

We invest not just capital, but time, energy and expertise. We invest not just in companies, but in people and ideas. As a result, we bring our collective experience, contacts and knowledge to bear on every opportunity we pursue.

About Battery Ventures:

Through nearly 25 years of technology investing, we have developed a keen understanding of how markets and customers work. We blend our first-hand knowledge with intensive research to uncover the most promising people, businesses and market opportunities.

This foundation makes us agile investors, experienced with companies that are diverse in many ways:

• Across an array of technologies and related sectors:  We focus on sectors where our expertise and connections can make an impact, including: Internet & Digital Media; Financial Services & Tech-Enabled Businesses; Clean Tech & Advanced Materials; Software; Semiconductors & Components; Infrastructure Technologies; and Communication Services.
• At all stages of a company’s lifecycle: We are well-versed in working with management teams on traditional venture investments, ranging from seed to later stage. Our team is equally adept at sophisticated deal structures such as leveraged buyouts, PIPEs, spin outs, rollups and take-privates. We can also arrange debt and are willing to do secondary transactions.
• In the most interesting geographies:  Because talented entrepreneurs and great companies can be found worldwide, we are active investors across the U.S. and in Canada, Israel, India, China, and Europe.

We are typically the lead institutional investor in our portfolio companies and are flexible on the amount of our investment. We will start as low as a few hundred thousand dollars in seed money and are able to speak for up to $100 million
