Accel-KKR, a technology-focused private equity firm, has raised $5.3 billion over two funds – $4.4 billion for its seventh flagship fund Accel-KKR Capital Partners VII LP and $920 million for its second emerging buyout fund Accel-KKR Emerging Buyout Partners II LP.

Its flagship fund will continue Accel-KKR’s strategy of making majority buyout investments in lower-middle-market and middle-market software and IT-enabled services companies. The fund includes $300 million from Accel-KKR’s general partner and affiliates. The Emerging Buyout fund will have a special focus on small-cap companies.
