  • Looking Somewhere in the Middle
    OUR FIRM LMM GROUP CLIENTS TRANSACTIONS NEWS & INTEL CONTACT IN THIS SECTION LOOKING SOMEWHERE IN THE Executive Perspective IT Index MIDDLE News Room Quarterly Earnings March 10, 2006 Scoreboard Spotlight by: Kelly Holman Tracker VDI Accel-KKR LLC didn't set out to specialize in middle-market private equity buyouts in the high-tech sector. Its founders, an Subscribe unusual combination of dealmakers, were focused in 2000 on the bright prospects of the Internet, just as many other investors and entrepreneurs were. But that vista quickly turned as dark as night when the dot-com bubble burst, and Accel-KKR suddenly needed to make a rapid course correction. It did. Today the Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm has made a name for itself acquiring small but fast-growing technology companies. Even as top-tier buyout groups lick their chops over the possibility of doing deals involving big software corporations, Accel- KKR keeps its attention on midmarket and small tech outfits with $15 million to $150 million in annual revenue: software developers, hardware makers, Internet firm and information technology services businesses. To be sure, it's hardly the only middle-market private equity group interested in technology businesses - a number of buyout groups, large and small, have made technology their core investment focus. But Accel-KKR's board and the background it represents set it apart. Members include financial engineering icons Henry Kravis and George Roberts of Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts & Co.; KKR partner Marc Lipschultz; veteran venture capitalist and Accel managing partner Jim Breyer; and former Wells Fargo & Co. chief executive Paul Hazen.

  • Roger Mcnamee, Zucked: Waking up to the Facebook Catastrophe, New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2019, 352 Pp., $28 (Hardcover)
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), Book Review 4169–4172 1932–8036/2019BKR0009 Roger McNamee, Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe, New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2019, 352 pp., $28 (hardcover). Reviewed by Heidi E. Huntington West Texas A&M University, USA In 2016, Roger McNamee, a longtime tech insider and venture capitalist, began to notice something unusual happening on Facebook. He observed a rise in viral images and other fear- and anger-based content coming from political-oriented Facebook groups. His hunch was that “bad actors were exploiting Facebook’s architecture and business model to inflict harm on innocent people” (p. 5). As a onetime mentor to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, McNamee felt he had to do something. Shortly before the 2016 U.S. election, McNamee reached out to Zuckerberg (whom he had advised not to sell Facebook back in 2006) and to COO Sheryl Sandberg (whom McNamee had suggested for the job) to alert them to his observations. Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe tells the story of McNamee’s efforts to convince Facebook to change tactics regarding some key aspects of its platform to be more socially responsible, and his subsequent, unlikely journey into anti-Facebook activism when his concerns went unanswered among Facebook’s executives. A tech advocate, McNamee likens himself to Jimmy Stewart’s character in the classic 1954 film Rear Window, unwittingly drawn into taking an active role in an ongoing crisis. Zucked is part personal narrative, part doomsday prophecy, and part call to action. Its focus is also ultimately broader than a critique of Facebook alone, using McNamee’s experience with Facebook as an entry point to examine the role of big tech companies in society more generally.

  • Monthly Update for 29 February 2012
    Monthly Update 29 FEBRUARY 2012 February Highlights HVPE’s estimated NAV per share is $11.43, a $0.01 per share increase from 31 January 2012. On 1 February 2012, Facebook (one of HVPE’s largest underlying company holdings) filed for an IPO, which is expected to value the company at between $75 and $100 billion. On 2 March 2012, Yelp, Inc. (NYSE: YELP) completed an IPO at $15 per share, above its initial price range. The Facebook and Yelp offerings follow 2011 IPOs of Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), all of which are held in HVPE’s venture portfolio, which currently represents 32% of investment value. The Company repaid $6.0 million of capital against its $500 million credit facility. Since 30 September 2011, HVPE has decreased its outstanding borrowings by $40.9 million, and $150.3 million is outstanding at 29 February 2012. Despite euro movement affecting HVPE’s NAV of Investments, the overall result of currency movement is broadly neutral as the Company maintains sufficient euro-denominated borrowings so that these and its unfunded euro commitments are approximately equal to its euro assets. 29 February 2012 31 January 2012 Change SUMMARY OF NET ASSET VALUE (in millions except per share and last traded price data) Estimated NAV of Investments $1,090.9 $1,096.9 ($6.0) Cash and Cash Equivalents 5.7 2.2 3.5 Outstanding Debt (150.3) (154.4) 4.1 Net Other Assets (Liabilities) (0.9) (0.5) (0.4) Estimated NAV $945.4 $944.2 $1.2 Estimated NAV per Share (82.7 million shares outstanding) $11.43 $11.42 $0.01 Last Traded Price (Euronext)1

  • Vcs Like of Accel Partners India, Nexus Venture Partners & SAIF
    VCs like of Accel Partners India, Nexus Venture Partners & SAIF Partners pool in $1 billion for Indian start-ups The Economic Times, 26th March 2015 http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/emerging-businesses/startups/vcs-like-of-accel-partners-india-nexus-venture- partners-saif-partners-pool-in-1-billion-for-indian-start-ups/articleshow/46695239.cms MUMBAI: India's top venture capital firms are raising larger pools of capital, encroaching into early growth territory as tech startups scrambling for bigger deals knock at hedge funds and other global investors rushing into the country. Just three VCs - Accel Partners India, Nexus Venture Partners and SAIF Partners - have pooled nearly $1 billion this month alone for investments in Indian startups. Accel, an early investor in Flipkart, on Tuesday closed a $305 million (Rs 1,900 crore) fund, nearly double the size of its previous fund raised four years ago. Snapdeal investor Nexus Venture Partners anticipates wrapping up around $450 million this month, $180 million larger than its previous corpus. Increased fundraising by venture capital firms coincides with the entry of hedge funds and investors such as Japan's Softbank and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner's investment fund DST Global into India's tech financing market in the past year. Entry of these investors has increased deal sizes, with internet companies seeking larger fund doses in shorter time. Startups raised $2.1 billion in venture funding in 2014, an increase of 50% over the prior year, according to research firm VCCEdge. This was in addition to around $3.2 billion (Rs 20,000 crore) raised by more mature internet companies such as Flipkart, Snapdeal, Quikr, Info Edge and Makemytrip.
