About Us

40 seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and investors with a wide variety of expertise collaborate at the Batchery to help early-stage companies grow.

Members of this group are the course instructors, domain experts, and coaches for the founders. Our investor advisors build strong relationships with our founders and are first in to invest through our internal angel group, The Batchery angels.

In this way, we derisk our early-stage investing and maximize the outcomes for our founders.

Investor Testimonials

After spending over 25 years teaching Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley, consulting with numerous companies from small to large, and co-founding a successful software start-up, I missed the opportunity to work with young entrepreneurs with the passion to change the future. As a Batchery IA, I have learned about new and interesting businesses and worked with smart and aggressive young people who are developing innovative new technologies and business.

Larry Rowe

Batchery Investor Advisor

As a former serial entrepreneur and Fortune 500 executive, when I made the decision to leave corporate America to dedicate myself once again to startups, it was a natural decision to join a group like Batchery to work with the member companies. At this stage of my career, I’m thrilled to be able to advise and leverage my vast network to the benefit of the many creative, innovative Batchery entrepreneurs.
