Accel-KKR led the majority investment to support product development and strategic acquisitions.
"AccessPay plays a crucial role in helping to optimise finance operations, increasing automation, improving cash visibility, and reducing the risk of fraud and error. It also has a reputation for delivering outstanding customer service,"
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."
Accel-KKR backed the capital markets technology specialist to support international growth and strategic acquisitions.
"Our success within the space can be measured in several ways: from our client base, which includes top performing independent investment banks, to our 29-country global footprint and our expanded product offerings which serve both buy and sell sides,"
The funding round was led by Accel-KKR, with participation from existing investors Shell and Smedvig Capital.
"The past few years have seen a revolution in transport ticketing and payments technology, and Masabi has consistently been at the forefront, time-after-time delivering ground-breaking firsts which have shaped the industry,"
Accel-KKR led the financing alongside an expanded debt facility with Silicon Valley Bank.
"Revenue-generating partnerships drive more than 20% of total sales for most Fortune 1000 brands,"
The strategic investment was led by Accel-KKR alongside existing backer Scottish Equity Partners.
"This is a very exciting time for Peppermint. The backing of both Accel-KKR and SEP reinforces that our innovative approach to transforming legal services through technology fundamentally sets us apart in the industry."
