Our Investment in Cursor – accel

Accel

We’re pleased to announce our investment in Cursor, the company shaping the future of software engineering. What Michael, Aman, Arvid, and Sualeh have accomplished in just a few short years is without precedent, and it’s clear they’re only getting started.

As software has accelerated every company and industry over the past several decades, tools supporting engineering teams have flourished – yet astonishingly, the process of writing code itself has hardly changed. Cursor shrinks the gap between human intent and action.  We believe it will become the collaborative interface between humans and computers, where every keystroke, action or inaction is an exchange of information that helps to accelerate cycles and achieve better outcomes. With relentless execution and distinctive product taste, the Cursor team is making software engineering a seamless extension of the human brain.

With over $1.5 billion invested in AI-native companies, we have observed the compounding leadership effect of winners in certain categories. In coding, developer choice —> wider distribution & deeper engagement —> higher fidelity keystroke data —> compounding product differentiation. With market leadership comes disproportionate access to talent, capital, GPU capacity, and marketplace influence.

The future is uncertain, but it will likely involve various configurations of humans and agents writing code together.  Today, Cursor changes the paradigm for building software; tomorrow, we believe it will be the operating system for human-machine collaboration across all developers.  We’re delighted to back Michael and this incredibly talented team for the ambitious journey ahead.

CareLineLive Secures Majority Investment from Technology Investment Firm Accel-KKR

AKKR Logo

London, UK & Menlo Park, CA – June 3, 2025 — CareLineLive, an all-in-one home care management software company, has secured a majority investment from technology-focused investment firm Accel-KKR, to spur accelerated growth, expansion and product development.

Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Josh Hough, CareLineLive provides an all-in-one cloud-based platform for homecare agencies, integrating staff scheduling, client visits, patient records and invoicing. The company currently supports hundreds of care providers across seven countries.

Across many parts of the world, the home healthcare market continues to grow. For example, the UK’s home and domiciliary care market is worth £11.5 billion, according to insurance broker PolicyBee. The Australian home healthcare market is projected to reach USD 25.7 billion by 2030, whereas the U.S. home care providers market is valued at approximately $153.7 billion in 2025.

Hough said the investment would help accelerate the company’s growth and international reach. “Our vision has always been to make homecare better for everyone through the use of technology – for providers, carers and clients,” he said.

“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,” Hough added.

The full transaction value has not been disclosed, but the investment also facilitates an exit for early backers Oakglen and Haatch. Hough also paid tribute to the outgoing investors: “We’re incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made over the last decade and I’d very much like to thank both Oakglen and Haatch for their support. This marks an exciting new chapter with Accel-KKR.”

Accel-KKR, which specialises in investing in enterprise software and tech-enabled businesses, cited CareLineLive’s technology and customer-centric ethos as among the key drivers behind its decision to invest in CareLineLive.

Maurice Hernandez, Managing Director at Accel-KKR, said, “No matter where they serve, home care providers want to focus on delivering responsive, respectful and personalized care. Technology can help carers and agencies improve efficiencies, maintain compliance and grow while being focused on their clients’ wellbeing. We’re excited to back CareLineLive and help Josh and his team continue to build market-leading solutions in this category.”

Hough said he and the senior management team will be remaining with the company for the foreseeable future.  “There’s a long-term plan in place, but it’s very much business as usual,” Hough added.

Key initiatives will begin rolling out immediately, including the new Quest Software Center for Advanced Architecture. As part of this ground-breaking initiative, engineers will develop next-generation solutions for both AI data management and governance and agentic AI to identify and respond to cyber threats at machine speed.

Apax Global Alpha Limited (“AGA”), the closed-ended investment company providing access to the Apax Private Equity Funds, today announces that it expects to invest approximately €25m in the Treasury and Capital Markets (“TCM”) division of Finastra on a look-through basis.

On 19 May 2025, Apax XI Fund (“Apax XI”), in which AGA is a limited partner, announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire the TCM division of Finastra, a global provider of financial services software.
