But what happens when that software stops working?\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EIt’s a huge problem for enterprises today. Detecting, and fixing, software problems is becoming increasingly complicated. This is because of both new software-development processes, like “agile” development and the continuous delivery of new code, as well as new types of datacenter technologies and the manner in which they’re distributed. A modern enterprise today is likely deploying virtual machines and containers, for instance, instead of just static servers; using new types of databases and “service-oriented” applications; and of course, tapping cloud-based applications and technologies, in addition to traditional packaged software.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ESimply put, this means there are a lot more places in a datacenter where things can go wrong, and it’s a lot harder to find these glitches. This is a thorny technology problem, and it’s led to a proliferation of IT-monitoring tools to keep tabs on software up and down the infrastructure stack.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EIn the market today, there are specialized tools to monitor applications, servers, databases and front-end websites. Battery has made investments in companies serving many of these areas, including AppDynamics* (applications), Dataloop.IO* (servers), VividCortex* (databases) and Catchpoint* (website performance).  There continues to be innovation in the monitoring category, particularly in areas like error tracking, log management, and advanced analytics. Last year, Battery invested in yet another monitoring company called BigPanda* that sells technology to consolidate and correlate monitoring data to accelerate the remediation process.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EIT monitoring is now so entrenched and mission-critical at many enterprises that Adrian Cockcroft, a Battery technology fellow who previously worked as Netflix’s “cloud architect”, has described entertainment giant Netflix as “a monitoring company that happens to stream movies.” (See also this \u003Ca href=\"https://www.battery.com/powered/bigpanda-analyzing-the-monitoringscape/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003E“MonitoringScape” graphic\u003C/a\u003E from BigPanda showing the breadth of companies operating in these areas—and a tweet from VividCortex’s CEO, below, on monitoring costs.)\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cdiv class=\"slate-resizable-image-embed slate-image-embed__resize-full-width\"\u003E \n \u003Cimg data-media-urn=\"\" data-li-src=\"https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4E12AQH8_K9TMBVZrA/article-inline_image-shrink_400_744/article-inline_image-shrink_400_744/0/1520414299866?e=1738195200&v=beta&t=h7Ck-vQG71VQuvUlt2OC4_kvMnsWVieZr5v5tTsQxvA\" src=\"//:0\"\u003E \n \u003C/div\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EBut there is another side to IT monitoring that hasn’t been getting as much attention—the human side.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EAs the “MonitoringScape” graphic demonstrates, there are now plenty of tools out there for companies to use to monitor their infrastructure. While these technologies offer critical insights and raise much-needed alarm bells, they don’t specifically address the next step in this process: How the right developers and IT-operations personnel are notified about these problems, in a timely manner, so they can start to fix them. We are optimistic more companies will emerge to address this issue, and today \u003Ca href=\"http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/it-operations-management-startup-opsgenie-raises-10-million-financing-led-battery-2138667.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Eannounced\u003C/a\u003E an investment in one such company, OpsGenie.*\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EOpsGenie is focused on this issue of how organizations can get the right IT alerts to the right people in an “always on” IT environment. OpsGenie’s technology integrates with other monitoring and ticketing tools to serve as a central repository for alert data, and then routes the information to the appropriate person or team through collaboration apps like Slack and HipChat, text messages or phone calls—similar, in many ways, to the emergency messages doctors got on their pagers in the pre-smartphone era. OpsGenie can “escalate” a message to a developer or IT ops professional as well.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cdiv class=\"slate-resizable-image-embed slate-image-embed__resize-full-width\"\u003E \n \u003Cimg data-media-urn=\"\" data-li-src=\"https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4E12AQH5EUhdoyOaqA/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/0/1520414299899?e=1738195200&v=beta&t=75TNZNuV3wZ0lk8ag_sP5WVhxt6elG5dEB1Q7xeOxqA\" src=\"//:0\"\u003E \n \u003C/div\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThe technology is desperately needed by many of today’s IT departments, which are pushing out code faster than ever – occasionally multiple times per day, instead of once every few months. This means there’s more code being produced, and more chances for bad code that will need to be fixed later—usually by the same people who wrote it. This makes it even more important that these developers and IT Ops personnel (“DevOps”) have very targeted tools that can notify the right person when something goes down, to reduce system downtime.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EUltimately, internal IT has shifted from being mainly a cost center into a core function directly aligned with generating revenue at many companies; if an e-commerce website goes down, for instance, the glitch negatively impacts a company’s sales and bottom line. It’s clear that for any business dependent on software today, technology to 1) monitor online services, and 2) enable DevOps teams to fix problems has become essential, and will likely help those companies perform better in the marketplace.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E*Denotes a current or former Battery portfolio company.

Instead of waiting for traditional exits like IPOs or acquisitions, SBVP opted to sell shares of its portfolio companies, demonstrating its ability to generate returns for investors and stand out in a competitive market. 🎤According to Dan Engel, founder and managing partner of SBVP, these secondary transactions have been a game-changer, sparking investor interest and bolstering the firm's credibility. By leveraging its recent successes, including a lucrative stake in sports-betting company DraftKings Inc.' acquisition of digital lottery app Jackpocket, SBVP seized the opportunity to return profits to its limited partners (LPs) and pave the way for its second fund. 💡Engel highlighted the challenges faced by young VC firms in raising subsequent funds, particularly amid a downturn in exit activity and heightened investor scrutiny. With traditional exit routes becoming increasingly elusive, the pressure is on for firms to demonstrate tangible returns and establish a track record of success. ✨"For us, secondary sales have been a game-changer. They've helped us return profits to our LPs and attract investors for our second fund," said Dan Engel. 💰For SBVP, the decision to pursue secondary sales was driven by the need to provide liquidity to LPs and validate its investment thesis in the eyes of prospective investors. By strategically offloading portions of its holdings in high-performing portfolio companies like Bark Technologies and Rad AI, SBVP not only generated substantial returns but also bolstered investor confidence in its ability to deliver results. ⚠Despite the complexities and potential stigma associated with early share sales, Engel emphasized the importance of prioritizing investor returns and seizing opportunities to unlock value for stakeholders. With a focus on profitability and transparency, SBVP remains committed to its mission of delivering sustainable growth and maximizing returns for its LPs. 🔍 "Returning profits to our investors is our top priority. By strategically selling shares, we're proving our commitment to delivering results and driving value for our stakeholders," added Engel. As SBVP continues to explore secondary transactions and expand its investor base, the firm stands as a testament to innovation and resilience in the face of market challenges. 🚀 ✅ Looking to raise capital for your #fund and increase the international pool of your LP #investors? 🤝 Need warm #LP introductions? 📝 Selling #secondaries to increase liquidity? 🧐 Looking for co-investments? ▶ G+QUANT's link for inquiries and fund decks: https://lnkd.in/gjC_EuTE #VCInnovation #SecondarySalesSuccess #InvestorReturns #ValueCreation </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" role="button" aria-label="2 Reactions" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="2" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9sun4diznbhgyelaeryxy75ur" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 2 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  </div> </div>  </div> <div class="base-aside-card__media flex-shrink-0 mr-0.5 overflow-hidden relative rounded-md h-[75px] w-[75px] base-aside-card__media--right"> <img alt=" 🌟Innovative VC Firm Overcomes Exits Drought with Secondary Sales🌟 ⛵Navigating a challenging landscape where exits are scarce, Santa Barbara Venture Partners (SBVP) has pioneered a novel approach to sustain its growth and attract investors for its second fund: secondary sales.

We've heard from investors of every size and type that it takes too long and costs too much to evaluate deal flow; this limits the scale and speed at which these capital allocators can operate. To address this problem, we've created an innovative solution which delivers high fidelity diligence information near instantaneously. From a time and cost perspective, VentureIQ immediately creates leverage to look at more deals - and creates space to focus deeply on the most meaningful opportunities. To learn more, you can reach out to me directly or visit VentureIQ.ai. I'll close with some thoughts on my team, to whom I'm so grateful. Blair Merlino, Neal Ghosh and Evan Allen don't just talk about interesting concepts, point out problems or pontificate on what could be. Instead, they identify a problem, frame and validate the solution, and do the work to bring it to reality. VentureIQ is the best example I've seen of this, to date. #VentureCapital, #FamilyOffice, #PrivateEquity #CorporateDevelopment #Startups </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" role="button" aria-label="9 Reactions" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="9" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9sun4diznbhgyelaeryxy75ur" height="16px" width="16px"> <img alt data-reaction-type="PRAISE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/cjrxeu0ese8oxe32kiom8kzoh" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 9 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis before:middot my-1" data-test-id="social-actions__comments" data-id="social-actions__comments" data-num-comments="2" data-singular="%numComments% Comment" data-plural="%numComments% Comments"> 2 Comments </div>  </div> </div>  </div>  </a> </div> </li> <li class="border-b-1 border-solid border-color-divider max-w-[360px] mb-1"> <div class="aside-activity-card "> <a href="https://sg.linkedin.com/in/jeffreypaine?trk=public_profile_relatedPosts_face-pile-cta" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="full-link" data-tracking-will-navigate class="face-pile flex !no-underline"> <div class="face-pile__images-container self-start flex-shrink-0 mr-1 leading-[1]"> <img class="inline-block relative rounded-[50%] w-4 h-4 face-pile__image border-1 border-solid border-color-transparent -ml-2 first:ml-0" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5603AQHp2mEPiPaBDA/profile-displayphoto-shrink_200_200/profile-displayphoto-shrink_200_200/0/1683391342899?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=sWkqzhGL3_8cvPHMqQJvue4qSIexoCOMom3Lg5yNl1Y" data-ghost-classes="bg-color-entity-ghost-background" data-ghost-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9c8pery4andzj6ohjkjp54ma2" alt> </div> <p class="face-pile__text self-center font-sans text-sm link-styled hover:underline"> Jeffrey Paine </p> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jeffreypaine_e37-the-vinod-khosla-interview-activity-7195611219020402689-n8lz?trk=public_profile_relatedPosts" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts" data-tracking-will-navigate class="base-card relative w-full hover:no-underline focus:no-underline base-card--link base-aside-card flex my-1.5 base-aside-card--link mt-0 mb-0.5">   <div class="base-aside-card__info self-center pl-0.5 flex flex-col flex-1"> <h3 class="base-aside-card__title font-sans text-md font-bold text-color-text relative">  </h3> <p class="base-aside-card__subtitle font-sans text-sm text-color-text leading-open mt-0.5 break-words overflow-anywhere line-clamp-2"> Key takeaways from VC Goat - Vinod Khosla podcast. - The firm cares more about working on interesting problems with large technical solutions rather than just maximizing IRR.

The job isn’t just helping others understand the mission - it’s helping them complete the mission and building alignment through personal context.

Curiosity drives us to ask deeper questions - those questions build empathy and, then, we become more aligned. </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" role="button" aria-label="6 Reactions" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="6" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9sun4diznbhgyelaeryxy75ur" height="16px" width="16px"> <img alt data-reaction-type="EMPATHY" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/37hg81qnm85dsy5mbqfifg9qs" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 6 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  </div> </div>  </div>  </a> </div> </li> <li class="border-b-1 border-solid border-color-divider max-w-[360px] mb-1"> <div class="aside-activity-card "> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnmackmba?trk=public_profile_relatedPosts_face-pile-cta" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="full-link" data-tracking-will-navigate class="face-pile flex !no-underline"> <div class="face-pile__images-container self-start flex-shrink-0 mr-1 leading-[1]"> <img class="inline-block relative rounded-[50%] w-4 h-4 bg-color-entity-ghost-background face-pile__image border-1 border-solid border-color-transparent -ml-2 first:ml-0" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9c8pery4andzj6ohjkjp54ma2" data-ghost-classes="bg-color-entity-ghost-background" data-ghost-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9c8pery4andzj6ohjkjp54ma2" alt> </div> <p class="face-pile__text self-center font-sans text-sm link-styled hover:underline"> Lynn Mack, MBA </p> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lynnmackmba_benchmarks-fundraising-capitalraise-activity-7220540566671933441-9pGV?trk=public_profile_relatedPosts" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts" data-tracking-will-navigate class="base-card relative w-full hover:no-underline focus:no-underline base-card--link base-aside-card flex my-1.5 base-aside-card--link mt-0 mb-0.5">   <div class="base-aside-card__info self-center pl-0.5 flex flex-col flex-1"> <h3 class="base-aside-card__title font-sans text-md font-bold text-color-text relative">  </h3> <p class="base-aside-card__subtitle font-sans text-sm text-color-text leading-open mt-0.5 break-words overflow-anywhere line-clamp-2"> 💡Benchmarks in the investment industry serve as a standard for measuring the performance of securities, mutual funds, or investment managers.

Empathy is pretty high on the list, but maybe not for the reasons you might think. - Successful companies deliver for their customers. As a leader, it is hard to understand your customers -- who will almost certainly have an entirely different reality and worldview than you -- without empathy. When was the last time you saw a product launch and thought "wow I don't really get it but I can see how THEY would love it." It happens a lot. - Successful companies have loyal and capable employees. What drives a capable employee to eschew potentially more lucrative offers elsewhere? For most, it starts with being heard, appreciated, and valued. Again, empathy goes a long way here. - Empathy breeds humility. If someone fundamentally does not appreciate the perspective of others, how likely are they to truly test their own assumptions and seek out new perspectives? Hubris creates blind spots and blind spots create inefficiencies, then limitations, then weaknesses. Empathy is not the end all be all, but it's a simple and effective mechanism to learn, course-correct, and build momentum. #venturebuilding </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" role="button" aria-label="2 Reactions" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="2" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9sun4diznbhgyelaeryxy75ur" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 2 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  </div> </div>  </div>  </a> </div> </li> </ul> <button class="show-more-less__button show-more-less__more-button show-more-less-button " aria-expanded="false" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts_show_more"> Show more posts <icon class="show-more-less__button--chevron show-more-less-button-icon" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/cyolgscd0imw2ldqppkrb84vo"></icon> </button> <button class="show-more-less__button show-more-less__less-button show-more-less-button show-more-less__button--hide" aria-expanded="false" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts_show_more"> Show fewer posts <icon class="show-more-less__button--chevron show-more-less-button-icon" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/4chtt12k98xwnba1nimld2oyg"></icon> </button> </div> </div> </section> <section class="aside-section-container mb-4">   <div class="aside-section-container__content break-words"> <section class="content-hub-cta container-lined p-2 max-w-[300px] font-sans text-color-text !max-w-none" data-nosnippet="true"> <div class="flex flex-row"> <img class="content-hub-cta__img block mr-1.5 w-6 h-6" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/c8ms9smqq4fefx1fgb22l0eus" alt> <h2 class="content-hub-cta__title text-lg font-bold m-0"> Explore collaborative articles </h2> </div> <p class="content-hub-cta__body text-sm font-light leading-open my-1"> We’re unlocking community knowledge in a new way.
