Our Mission

Batteries play a key role in tackling climate change. $73B was invested in US battery plants in 2022, and battery company revenue is expected to grow >

5x over the next decade.

Global carmakers alone are forecast to spend $515B on electric vehicle and battery R&D by 2030. But battery engineers are woefully underserved by software, relying on broken legacy products to analyze their data.

Most data is never analyzed or used meaningfully.

Byterat is the first platform to provide battery teams with the infrastructure they need to unlock business value from their battery data.

Byterat is live in battery labs across three continents today, allowing teams to analyze data from thousands of parallel experiments and unlock previously hidden insights connecting battery design to performance.
