Accel Partners was founded in 1983 and has helped over 300 successful category-defining companies including Facebook, Kayak, Dropbox, Walmart.com and Spotify. Jake is over the Big Data Fund that has invested in Cloudera, the leader in Hadoop software, Couchbase, a provider of NoSQL technology, and QlikView, a self-service business discovery application. He is also over the recently announced $100 million Big Data Fund 2.

Jake recently sat down with Stefan Groschupf, CEO and Founder of Datameer and host of Big Data & Brews to explain what venture capital firms look for in a big data investment above and below the data line in the big data technology stack.
