    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
