About
Chelsea Stoner is a former chemical engineer who brings an unusual combination of technical programming skills and finance experience to venture capital, which Battery Ventures specifically valued as a non-typical VC hire that shapes her engineering-driven approach to software investing. She specializes in vertical SaaS and healthcare IT with a track record of backing category leaders in niche markets like physical therapy, behavioral health, and dental through long thesis-driven deep dives into verticals over 6-12 months, and she's known for using M&A as a growth tool with detailed playbooks on customer buys and product buys that have yielded multiples of acquired revenue.
