Index Ventures completes new fund to raise capital and invest in start-up technology company

Recently, according to foreign media reports, the famous venture capital Index Ventures has completed a new fund to raise funds, the fund will be the start-up phase of the technology companies as investment targets, for those who have the potential to have the development goals of technology companies to bring hope.

Mike Volpi, the Index Ventures partner Mack Volpi, said the new fund was about € 350 million, the 6th Fund of Index Ventures, which focuses on start-up technology companies. He said the fund would be managed by 8 VC-Ventures, focusing on Europe, taking into account entrepreneurial ventures in countries such as the United States and Israel.

The new fund was similar to the one on which the Index Ventures's last fund, which focused on start-up technology companies, was completed in 2009.

Volpi revealed that, unlike the 2009 fund, the new fund will no longer focus on life sciences, and Index Ventures no longer lists life sciences and Internet technology as the same investment category. In addition, the new fund will dedicate 20 million euros to the field of seed investment.

He said investors were enthusiastic about the new fund, and that, for that reason, Index Ventures had discussed whether to increase the size of the fund-raising, but ultimately chose to maintain the status quo. (Na Yan)
