1 Aug
Summary
- Index Ventures raised $2 billion across three new funds.
- The firm added $700 million to a growth fund, totaling $3.5 billion.
- Recent successes include Wiz's $32 billion sale to Alphabet.
Index Ventures announced on Friday that it has secured $2 billion in new capital, distributed across three separate funds. This significant fundraising effort includes $400 million for a new seed-focused fund and $900 million for its venture fund.
Furthermore, the firm bolstered its growth fund by an additional $700 million. This augmentation to a growth fund initially raised in 2024 now brings Index Ventures' total available capital to an impressive $3.5 billion.
This recent capital haul follows a successful fundraising round two years prior, when Index raised $2.3 billion. The firm has maintained a strategy of not excessively increasing fund sizes, while still demonstrating strong recent performance. Notably, Index Ventures was an early investor in Wiz, which Alphabet acquired for $32 billion earlier this year.
The venture capital firm also highlighted its strategic investments in artificial intelligence, including stakes in robotics company Physical Intelligence, inference platform Fireworks AI, and Anthropic. These investments underscore Index Ventures' commitment to emerging technologies.
