Technology investment firm Accel-KKR has backed home care software provider CareLineLive in a majority deal.

"Our vision has always been to make homecare better for everyone through the use of technology – for providers, carers and clients. This investment helps bring that future closer. Accel-KKR’s long track record of helping software companies grow is what I am most excited about. Their experience and resources will help us to grow our team, enhance our product, and deliver even more value to our customers. A portion of the funding will be used to establish a customer support presence in Australia, enabling round-the-clock service. As our UK team finishes for the day, the Australia team will begin – meaning we’ll be able to support customers at any time of day."
— Josh Hough, Founder
