Accel-KKR, a leading technology-focused private equity firm, announced today the successful completion of Accel-KKR Growth Capital IV Partners L.P., a $1.35 billion growth capital fund. The new fund includes a $100 million commitment from the firm’s employees. Accel-KKR invests in technology companies through a series of different funds and strategies including Buyout, Emerging Buyout, Growth Capital and Credit.
