Index Ventures has announced the successful closure of $2 billion in new capital across three distinct funds. The firm secured $400 million for a new seed-focused fund and $900 million for its venture fund. Additionally, Index added $700 million to its growth fund, which was initially raised at $1.5 billion in 2024, bringing the total available capital in that fund to $3.5 billion.
This latest fundraising effort follows a period where Index raised $2.3 billion across two funds two years prior. The firm has maintained a strategy of avoiding significant fund size inflation, distinguishing itself from several other venture capital firms.
Index Ventures has demonstrated strong recent performance, notably with its investment in Wiz. The cybersecurity firm was acquired by Alphabet earlier this year for $32 billion. Index Ventures, an early seed-stage investor, held a 12% stake in Wiz, estimated to be worth approximately $3.8 billion. The firm was also an early backer of Figma, which achieved a public listing last year.
Among Index Ventures' current AI-related investments are the robotics company Physical Intelligence, the inference platform Fireworks AI, and Anthropic, an AI model maker. The investment in Anthropic was made when the company raised capital at a valuation of $183 billion last September.
