“We partner with exceptional founders from inception through all phases of growth.”
Accel has been one of the most consistently active top-tier venture firms for decades, backing Facebook, Slack, Dropbox, Spotify, and Atlassian among many others. They invest from seed through growth, with seed cheques starting at $500K and growth investments reaching up to $100M. With 136 investments in 2025 alone, Accel moves fast and invests frequently compared to more concentrated firms like Benchmark.
Their pre-seed programme, Accel Atoms, offers up to $2M for founders at the earliest stages, with a particular focus on AI and deep technical differentiation. For founders who build infrastructure, security tools, or developer platforms, Accel is a natural fit.
