Looking at the evolution of their fund focus is fascinating. You can clearly see how they've followed market trends - starting with consumer/mobile in the early 2010s, shifting to SaaS/B2B around 2015-2017, and now heavy on fintech/healthtech/AI. What's clever about their strategy is maintaining the early-stage focus even as fund size grew. Most VCs drift to later stages as they raise bigger funds, but Accel has stayed disciplined. This consistency is probably why they've outperformed. Worth noting that Fund VII (2025) hasn't closed yet - that's likely a prediction or target rather than a fact.
