Accel-KKR, a technology-focused private equity firm, led a $60m Series C round in Birdeye, a software & messaging platform for multi-location businesses. "We all expect the convenience of a digital-first experience, and that has accelerated during the pandemic. Still, local businesses have been unable to transition to digital. We want to help local businesses join the digital revolution without the hassle of complicated and costly software. We want to allow local businesses to compete and win with larger organizations. With this investment from Accel-KKR, we will make this a global movement," Naveen Gupta, Birdeye CEO.
