Battery Ventures, a global investment firm focused on technology innovation, has announced the launch of The Battery Catalyst Network – a handpicked group of accomplished go-to-market executives aimed at helping Battery’s portfolio companies scale efficiently. This strategic initiative offers early- and growth-stage founders access to expert advisors in key revenue-driving functions, including sales, marketing, and product-led growth.
The Catalyst Network brings together seasoned operators with experience building high-growth companies like Asana, Dropbox, Marketo*, Twilio, Procore, and Amplitude*. These advisors are matched with portfolio companies based on stage, strategic goals, and functional needs to provide targeted, on-demand guidance.
“Scaling a company is never a straight line—it requires strategic precision, relentless execution and the wisdom of those who’ve been there before,” said Dharmesh Thakker, General Partner at Battery Ventures. “With The Battery Catalyst Network, we’re giving founders access to an elite bench of growth operators who know how to build repeatable systems and help companies scale faster.”

Founding members include prominent leaders such as Matt Heinz (CRO, Boomi), Jessica Gilmartin (former CRO/CMO, Calendly), Liz Kokoska (CMO, Huntress), and others with a track record of taking companies from early growth through IPO and international expansion.
Matt Heinz added, “I know firsthand how valuable experienced operators can be during inflection points. I’m honored to be part of this network and proud to support the next generation of great companies in the Battery portfolio.”
Through this initiative, Battery Ventures reinforces its commitment to not only capital investment but also operational support that drives long-term value creation across its portfolio.
