Huo Xing Finance reports, according to Sifted, that leading European venture capital firm Index Ventures has recently announced the closing of a new $2 billion fund, bringing its total assets under management to $3.5 billion. The new fund consists of three components: a $400 million seed fund, a $900 million early-stage venture fund, and an additional $700 million allocated to its existing growth fund, increasing the fund’s size from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion. Index Ventures stated that the new capital will continue to support founders “from their first funding round through to IPO and beyond,” covering markets in Europe, Israel, and the United States. Against this backdrop, AI is a core focus area, with the firm having previously invested in Mistral, Cohere, and Ineffable Intelligence, founded by former DeepMind researcher David Silver. Previous exits from Index’s portfolio—including Wiz’s $32 billion acquisition by Google, Figma’s IPO, and Revolut’s secondary share sale (valued at $115 billion)—have provided strong validation for this fundraising round.
