  • Accel Partners VII
    Accel Partners VII by Steven N. Kaplan1 Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago As the summer of 1999 began, Julie Robins, the chief investment officer of the Angel Foundation, was considering whether to invest in Accel Partners’ latest venture capital fund – Accel Partners VII. Accel was seeking to raise $500 million. The Angel Foundation had been a limited partner (investor) in Accel’s previous three funds – Accel Partners IV, V, and VI. Those funds had generated returns well above those typical for venture capital funds. In fact, the net returns to limited partners on Accel Partners IV and V were running above 100% per year. Exhibit 1 provides a recent record of historical returns for venture capital funds by vintage year. While 100% plus returns were obviously spectacular, Julie was concerned that Accel had decided to raise the fees it would charge its limited partners. In its previous fund, Accel had charged a management fee of 2.5% and a carried interest (or profit share) of 25%. This already exceeded the industry standard of 2.5% and 20%. In Accel Partners VII, Accel proposed to raise the carried interest to 30% of profits. James W. Breyer, Accel’s managing partner, argued that: “the higher profit share would help it retain and attract new talent. We have the same investment team that has been investing the last three Accel funds, and at the same time, we have greatly strengthened the team with new additions …”2 At a 30% carry, Accel would join a select group of private equity firms that included Bain Capital, Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfied & Byers, and, under some circumstances, Benchmark Capital.

Although his many real faults would later come to be widely perceived as well, Shockley was viewed as a genius by the scientific community of his day. In the 1940s, while employed at what was then AT&T Corporation’s Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, Shockley had helped invent the transistor, a feat for which he shared a Nobel Prize in 1956. But Shockley’s contribution to his time went even beyond his scientific achievements. To commercial- ize his world-altering invention, which made possible everything from the portable radio to the personal computer, Shockley left AT&T the year he got his prize and announced the founding of Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories. In a move whose far-reaching consequences neither Shockley nor anyone else could have predicted, he located his new firm not in some established manufacturing area along the northeast corri- dor, but in faraway Mountain View, California, next door to his na- tive Palo Alto. The decision turned out to be an unparalleled stroke of good fortune for the area. Although Shockley chose the location in part to be near his mother, cementing the deal was the fact that nearby Stanford University was offering space in an industrial park it had created to lure electronics companies to the area.
