Accel-KKR Credit Partners

What they do

Accel-KKR Credit Partners is the private credit fund managed by Accel-KKR, a premier technology-focused investment firm with over $23 billion in cumulative capital commitments. The credit arm was established to provide non-dilutive capital alternatives to founder-owned businesses and flexible credit products to institutionally-backed companies. Leveraging Accel-KKR's 25 years of deep software expertise, the credit team understands complex SaaS business models and underwrites loans based on recurring revenue and unit economics rather than traditional asset-based metrics. They are highly regarded in the ecosystem as a founder-friendly lending partner that offers the strategic resources of a mega-fund without requiring equity dilution.

They target software and tech-enabled businesses with revenues ranging from $10 million to several hundred million dollars, looking for strong unit economics, high Gross Retention, strong Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and positive EBITDA.
