Accel Growth Fund 7: Disciplined Ambition

Our latest growth fund embodies the same principle of disciplined ambition exemplified by many of our portfolio companies. At $1.35B, it's smaller than our previous funds by design. We partner with few companies. When we do, our entire team is an active and engaged partner. This fund represents that continued commitment to focus and quality.

We’ve cultivated these values over time as the first growth partner to category-defining companies like Atlassian, Crowdstrike, Freshworks, Qualtrics, and Slack, and more recently, 1Password, BrowserStack, Cyera, Speak, Vercel, and many more. These companies are building intelligent, disciplined businesses to tackle massive opportunities, and their work constantly teaches and inspires us. 

We’re also optimistic about the market: categories that have been a longstanding focus for us, like cybersecurity and SaaS, continue to flourish, and we are particularly excited about new frontiers created by artificial intelligence and changing enterprise and consumer behaviors.

As always, we recognize that innovation isn't confined to traditional tech hubs. We value companies that share our team’s global perspective and address unique, untapped market needs regardless of location. 

Since we raised our first growth fund 17 years ago, we have seen firsthand that discipline doesn’t undermine ambitious growth; it fuels it. We believe the future belongs to those who approach it with curiosity, conviction, intensity, and humility—and we look forward to supporting the next generation of founders to build it.
