Welcome, Nafis Jamal!

We’re thrilled to welcome Nafis Jamal as our newest Venture Partner at Accel.

Nafis has been a longtime member of the Accel family for the past 15 years, having founded two Accel-backed companies in Mopub (acquired by Twitter) and Elements (acquired by Circle). We’ve seen first hand his passion for new technologies and his pragmatism for shaping viable companies around them. He’s one of those rare founders who can connect technology value to equity value. We love that kind of thinking.

Importantly, Nafis embodies a common pattern for our team: an emphasis on trusted relationships, a focused and patient approach to building businesses, and a commitment to only working with the best. He's proven his mettle as an advisor and angel to many successful startups; Accel will only expand his impact with product-oriented technical founders in AI, fintech, and beyond.

We can’t wait to see his work unfold. Welcome Nafis!
