Neeraj, a prolific investor who has backed many high-profile, B2B software companies, joined Battery in 2000. He is a prominent industry thought leader on scaling cloud-software companies and, in 2015, introduced the “T2D3” growth metric for methodically growing SaaS enterprises. His team at Battery for many years released a widely read, annual (now quarterly) report on the state of the software industry, and each year Neeraj helps headline the annual, invite-only “CloudNY” conference for CEOs of breakout cloud and SaaS companies that Battery produces with partner Firstmark Capital.
