Welcome to Condensing the Cloud, a Substack brought to you by Battery Ventures.

Battery Ventures has invested in technology companies for over forty years, backing some of the biggest and brightest ideas in the industry. Cloud computing is one of the areas we are most excited about; and, if you’re reading this, perhaps you’re also excited by the potential of cloud computing — both at the application and at the infrastructure layers — to disrupt markets and industries in the years ahead.

Which brings us to this Substack. We launched Condensing the Cloud with two goals in mind: first, to offer insights on new cloud technologies and trends, and second, to provide practical advice for founders and other company-builders. We will also provide deeper dives into our proprietary research and reports, including the annual State of the OpenCloud report, and perhaps some guest voices and Q&A from time to time.
