Accel

Harry joined Accel as one of the first members of its London office in 2004, following more than a decade in Silicon Valley. Harry started his career in Silicon Valley designing semiconductors at Hewlett-Packard before founding a venture-backed software company, so is all too aware of what it’s like to be in a founder’s shoes. At Accel, Harry focuses on AI and defense tech companies. His current portfolio includes companies such as Celonis, CHECK24, Personio, Vinted and Zepz. More recently, Harry led Accel’s investments in Atira, Cambridge Aerospace, Dash0, and Super Payments. Harry has seen his portfolio companies IPO in three geographies, including Funding Circle, KAYAK, and Showroomprive.com.
