Index Ventures completes a new funding round of $2 billion, betting on AI-driven next-generation technology companies

According to Sifted, the renowned European venture capital firm Index Ventures recently announced the completion of a new fundraising round of $2 billion, increasing its total investable assets to $3.5 billion. This round of fundraising consists of three parts: a $400 million seed fund, a $900 million early-stage venture fund, and an additional $700 million to the existing growth fund (which has expanded from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion).

Index Ventures stated that the new funds will continue to support founders "from the first round of financing to IPO and beyond," covering the markets in Europe, Israel, and the United States. In the context of this fundraising, AI is its core betting direction, and the firm has successively invested in Mistral, Cohere, and Ineffable Intelligence, founded by former DeepMind researcher David Silver. Previously, Wiz, part of the Index portfolio, was acquired by Google for $32 billion, Figma completed its IPO, and Revolut completed a secondary market share sale (valued at $115 billion), all of which provided strong endorsement for this round of fundraising.
