description: 'Bass Associates is an early- and growth-stage venture capital firm historically
  based at 435 Tasso Street, Palo Alto, California, and appears on the Battery Ventures
  "list of all companies" as an exited entry. Public investor databases record roughly
  32 investments and 10 exits alongside co-investors such as Accel Partners, Kleiner
  Perkins and CRV, with its last recorded investment (Teloquent, growth equity) in
  January 2002 and its last recorded exit in December 2003. The 2026 enrichment pass
  found no operating website, no developer portal, no documentation and no API surface
  of any kind: the firm appears dormant and is not an API provider. It was surfaced
  into the API Evangelist network by the VC-portfolio crawl as a Battery Ventures
  portfolio lead, but the underlying entity is itself an investor rather than an operating
  software company.'

  notes: 'Searched Battery Ventures company list, CB Insights and general web; probed
    bassassociates.com and bass-associates.com (both 200 but unrelated entities — a
    Toronto labour-relations consultancy and an Arizona collections law firm). No
    provider domain, no API, no docs, no artifacts to derive.'
