Morad Elhafed focuses on bootstrapped, founder-owned software companies and uses control or structured deals to help them reset to more realistic growth plans rather than forcing a unicorn narrative. He leads Battery's European software strategy by consolidating fragmented vertical software providers and bringing their technology to the U.S., while pushing founders to develop clear AI stories in both product and go-to-market.

Notable Investments
Battery operates a stage-agnostic model under one brand, investing from seed to buyouts rather than splitting activities into separate funds, and built a dedicated buyouts arm alongside venture practice after the dot-com crash to back themes in both minority growth deals and full-control transactions. The firm provides a formal Portfolio Services platform that functions like an internal consulting group covering talent, go-to-market, marketing and finance, while deliberately doing fewer deals than comparable funds to concentrate capital and time on building category leaders.
