Index Ventures has secured $2 billion in fresh capital, increasing its total assets under management to $3.5 billion. The London-based venture capital firm announced the close of a $400 million seed fund, a $900 million venture fund, and an expansion of its growth fund from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion. The announcement was made on August 3, 2026, signaling a major push into AI-focused startups across seed and growth stages, according to sifted.eu.
Founded in 1996, Index Ventures has a strong track record of backing successful technology companies such as Revolut, Adyen, Figma, Roblox, Datadog, and cybersecurity firm Wiz. Recent milestones include Google's $32 billion acquisition of Wiz and Figma's IPO. Revolut also recently completed a secondary share sale valuing the company at $115 billion. The new funds will enable Index Ventures to support founders from early-stage investments through to public markets, focusing on Europe and Israel, the firm said.
This fundraising round underscores the growing investor confidence in AI as a driver of the next wave of technology innovation. With $3.5 billion in deployable capital, Index Ventures joins other major investors intensifying their bets on AI startups. The firm's approach to backing companies from seed to growth stages positions it to capitalize on the sector's rapid expansion, following comparable deals in the venture capital space that have targeted AI and deep tech companies.
Index Ventures’ expanded funds will allow it to continue investing across its core geographies, including Europe and Israel, supporting AI startups at various stages. The firm’s total assets under management now stand at $3.5 billion, reflecting its commitment to AI-driven technology ventures, as confirmed in its August 3 announcement.
