Index Ventures Secures $2B Across Three Funds Following Wiz Liquidity Event

Index Ventures has secured $2 billion in new capital across three new funds, raising its total active investment pool to $3.5 billion. The fundraising milestone underscores the enduring strength of the transatlantic venture firm, which continues to bridge the European and North American startup ecosystems. The capital injection arrives closely following a major liquidity event from portfolio company Wiz, highlighting the firm's ability to deliver realized returns to its limited partners in a challenging exit environment.

The $2 billion raise is structured across three core vehicles designed to support companies throughout their lifecycles. While the firm did not disclose the precise breakdown of the capital allocation among the funds, the strategy aligns with the historical approach of running dedicated seed, early-stage venture, and late-stage growth vehicles. This multi-tiered structure allows the firm to maintain ownership targets in its most promising investments from inception through to pre-IPO rounds.

Securing $2 billion in the current macroeconomic climate signals strong institutional LP appetite for established, top-tier venture managers. Over the past two years, limited partners have increasingly consolidated their capital into a select group of franchise firms with proven track records of distribution. The successful fundraise, bolstered by recent portfolio distributions, demonstrates that LPs are still willing to write large checks for managers capable of generating actual liquidity rather than paper markups.

With offices in London, San Francisco, and New York, Index is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the convergence of European engineering talent and American capital markets. The firm’s expanded war chest of $3.5 billion in total available capital will intensify competition among global multi-stage firms. The firm is expected to deploy this capital heavily into high-conviction sectors, particularly enterprise software, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, where European technical talent remains highly competitive.
