Accel’s Post

"Think of any multibillion-dollar European tech company today, and it's likely Accel was involved in its inception." Thank you to Fortune and Ryan Hogg for featuring our Founder Factories report on the cover of your European edition—and for telling the story of Accel in Europe. Accel first opened its London office in 2000. It'd be another five years before Europe had its first unicorn exit with Skype. Back then, there were questions about whether the region would ever be able to build billion-dollar companies. Fast-forward to today, and the answer is a resounding yes. Europe and Israel are home to over 360 unicorns today, proving that the region is uniquely poised to cultivate exceptional companies. Our report, developed in partnership with Dealroom.co, demonstrates how this growth was driven by a phenomenon we call the "founder factory" effect. In essence: great companies beget great companies.
