Accel-KKR
Founded in 2000 by the union of Accel and KKR, two American private equity giants, Accel-KKR combines Accel's venture capital expertise with KKR's buyout know-how. The company became independent in 2006 under the management of Tom Barnds and Rob Palumbo, and has since established itself as a major player in the sector. Recently, BluWave recognized it as one of the top private equity innovators of 2025.

A fast-growing technology investment giant

Present in the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2022, Accel-KKR is an international investment company. It specializes in the technology and software sectors. With four offices worldwide, its team of over 125 professionals manages around $15 billion in assets. Its strategy is based primarily on buyout.

Accel-KKR doesn't just invest to make a profit. It accompanies companies on their journey to growth. The manager carefully selects the software and technology services companies in which he invests. The choice of partners is subject to a strict, high-quality pre-selection process. Thanks to the "Rule of 40", it ensures that they achieve revenue growth and a profitability margin of at least 40%.

Accel-KKR s rapidly growing available capital means it can look to the future with confidence. In its two decades of existence, it has already supported over 450 companies.

Accel-KKR in the top 2% of the industry's most visionary players

In a bid to differentiate itself from traditional private equity firms, Accel-KKR takes an innovative approach. It clearly positions itself on the side of business creators and entrepreneurs, emphasizing integrity, team spirit and transparency. We share these values with our partners to ensure high returns and long-term development.

This vision defines Accel-KKR's thoughtful, methodical approach. Together with its partners, Accel-KKR and its team explore prospects and decide on the way forward. This enables them to anticipate potential market developments or react with great speed. Coupled with sector specialization, this is a key success factor and a driving force in the ongoing quest for innovation.

Thanks to this strategy, Accel-KKR has once again been recognized by BluWave, LP as one of the most innovative private equity firms of 2025. This distinction places the firm among the 2% most avant-garde players in the sector.

Working with leading private equity firms, BluWave has a unique perspective on industry best practice and innovation. To select this year's winners, the company sought the views of leading investment bankers and other experts in the field. To do so, it takes into account four areas: proactive due diligence practices, transformative value creation, modern management methods and each company's commitment to social responsibility.
