It is the fifth early stage fund Index has raised in the past ten years and reinforces the firm's commitment to investing in innovative and disruptive companies, from the very earliest stages. The fund was raised almost entirely from the firm's existing base of limited partners.

"Over the past twelve years, we have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world who have started game-changing companies such as Betfair, Skype, MySQL and GenMab," said partner Bernard Dalle.

Operating from offices in Geneva, London and Jersey, Index invests in companies across multiple geographies. Investments made during the last twelve months include: Criteo (France), DimDim (India), Lehigh Technologies (US), MyHeritage (Israel), NormOxys (France), OpTier (Israel), Playfish (UK), RightScale (US), and WooMe (UK/US).
