Accel Fully Exits Squarespace via take-private by Permira

GroveStreet has been an investor in Accel since 2009. Accel’s first Growth Fund led Squarespace’s $38M Series A in 2010. Squarespace went public in May 2021 via a direct listing at a $6.6B enterprise value, at which point Accel  partially realized its investment. In October 2024, Accel fully realized its interest in Squarespace when Permira acquired the Company in an all-cash take-private deal valuing the company at $7.2B, or a 36% premium over the stock’s 90-day average price.
