ENTREPRENEUR PERSPECTIVES

The best perspective of working with Accel is through the many entrepreneurs that we have worked with over the years. Following are experiences from a few past and current Accel entrepreneurs:

"Working with Accel was one of the key foundational elements that set our business up for the long term."
Rob Glaser
RealNetworks
CEO

"Accel has been a great partner in building Brightcove. From strategic guideance at a board level, to consistent engagement through Accel portfolio companies and their broader network, to presenting new business development opportunities, Accel is active with, engaged in and helpful to our business."
Jeremy Allaire
Brightcove
Founder and President

"Venture capital is an industry that overflows with empty promises; but in the $200 million of investment I have raised over the last decade for my technology start-ups, Accel is virtually unique in being able to deliver equal to its reputation. Accel has patience, integrity, operational experience, and one of the deepest and most tangible networks in the business. These are all qualities that should be at the top of the shopping list of any entrepreneur when looking for a funding partner."
