Our Enduring Commitment to Investing at the Earliest Stages

For more than 40 years, Accel has partnered with exceptional teams through major periods of technological change. AI is powering a technology supercycle that is reshaping traditional industries, unlocking entirely new categories, and compressing the time it takes for a founder to go from an idea to a scaled business. It’s brought forward a generation of entrepreneurs building faster than ever before. We believe this current transformation is still in its early stages.

Even amid rapid change, the fundamentals remain the same. Early-stage founders need investors who can move at their pace, act with conviction rooted in deep insight, sweat the details in the earliest days, and help them remain true to their larger ambition. At Accel, being there from the very beginning means earning trust early, staying close, and working alongside teams for the long term.

Today, we’re announcing our $3.5 billion fundraise across four vehicles dedicated to backing founders from the outset. Together, these funds support our early-stage strategies in the US, Europe, Israel, and India, while providing additional capital for larger initial investments and follow-ons.

The future is being written by the extraordinary teams at Armadin, Cambridge Aerospace, Celonis, Chaos, Cyera, Decagon, Fractile, Lovable, Mind Robotics, Swiggy, Tailscale, Thinking Machines, and more. We look forward to partnering with founders who are bold enough to imagine what comes next and determined enough to build it.
