Reaching out from Accel-KKR to connect with operators within the Search Fund community to find investment opportunities. For context, Accel-KKR is a leading $10B investment firm focused exclusively on partnering with founder-led, mission-critical, B2B software and tech-enabled service businesses. As an investor, Accel-KKR augments growth (on average tripling growth rates post-investment) for our partners and helps them become category leaders across their respective industries (have partnered with over 250 management teams across multiple industry verticals). Accel-KKR helps accelerate this growth curve along several vectors:

-M&A execution: We have helped our portfolio companies acquire dozens of other companies, helping them expand rapidly into new markets, geographies, and product areas -Operational excellence: our on-demand consulting team can help across the business, including recruiting, international expansion, sales processes, and more -Industry introductions: Our broad network and relationships have helped drive significant revenue and partnership opportunities across our portfolio

We have found success in backing other Search Fund companies, such as FastSpring, and are excited to potentially work with more. Please feel free to reach out if you think that we can be of help. Thanks!

I am very surprised that Accel-KKR would be interested in deals this relatively small with all that capital to deploy. Can you give us a range of deal size that is considered? Thanks!

Hi Peter I have a client that would have the technology at hand to start a hedge fund. The company will have an IPO soon so I cannot talk too much about it. However the technology is very interesting and could be employed to set-up a hedge fund, advanced treasury management, etc. Also they might be looking for a further investor in the future. Let us have a phone call.
