Venture Fund Member Profile Share This Profile: Battelle Ventures, L.P., is a $150 million independent venture fund that invests in technology companies at many early stages of development, from companies looking for seed or start-up capital through pre-revenue and post-revenue companies raising later rounds of financing. The fund, which is based in Princeton, N.J., is actively seeking to invest in technology companies within the following three key areas: Life Sciences, Homeland Security, and Energy. In August 2005, Innovation Valley Partners, a $35 million affiliate fund of Battelle Ventures, was launched by a group of Knoxville business leaders. Battelle Ventures enhances and adds value to its portfolio companies by leveraging the technologies and expertise of Battelle Memorial Institute and the National Laboratories it manages or co-manages for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Representative Investments Endovalve Endovalve is a spin - out of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine that is developing a percutaneous mitral valve replacement system to treat mitral regurgitation, an increasingly common heart disease. Some 25,000 mitral valve replacements and about 13,000 mitral valve repairs are annually performed in the United States alone, but only the severest cases are treated today because of the risks of open-heart surgery. The Endovalve system is designed to allow for a complete mitral valve replacement without open-heart surgery so that many more sufferers will not have to defer treatment until the disease becomes critical or a serious cardiac event takes place. Battelle Ventures and its affiliate fund, Innovation Valley Partners, were the sole investors in the company's series A financing.

Core4 Systems is developing a system to more efficiently cool data centers. Core4's promised energy savings comes from reduced compression, achieved in a number of ways. Instead of filtering external air, Core4 claims to use only internal air ¢‚¬" in a method called refrigerant-side economizing ¢‚¬" which attempts to mitigate the filtering costs while cutting compressor energy consumption.Per the company, Core4 also uses outside wet-bulb temperatures ¢‚¬" the temperature at which water begins to evaporate outside ¢‚¬" rather than the higher dry bulb temperature, which aims to allow its gear to continue economizing even on extremely hot, humid days when airside systems can't. Refrigerant-side economizing also cuts down on server and hard drive failures, which contribute to the volume of e-waste shipped to overseas landfills.
EcoDog, Inc. offers energy consumption tools with the aim of helping to reduce homeowners' expenses and lowering demand for electricity.
