Index Ventures has closed $2 billion in new capital across a $900M venture fund, a $400M seed fund, and a $700M addition to its 2024 growth fund. The funding positions the firm to invest across early-stage and growth-stage startups.

Index Ventures, known for backing cybersecurity unicorn Wiz and fintech platform Revolut, is deploying the capital across multiple investment vehicles targeting different company stages. The $900M venture fund will focus on Series A and B investments. The $400M seed vehicle targets earlier-stage companies, while the $700M addition expands the firm's 2024 growth fund from $1.5B to $2.2B, enabling larger checks for mature startups. The three-pronged strategy reflects a shift among top-tier VCs toward offering capital across the startup lifecycle. Index Ventures' existing portfolio includes successful exits and high-profile investments, giving it access to capital from institutional investors seeking exposure to European and global tech opportunities. The firm joins other major venture players expanding their fund portfolios as competition intensifies for allocation among limited partners.
