Index Ventures is a venture capital firm based in London, San Francisco and Geneva, helping entrepreneurs turn bold ideas into transformative international businesses. 

Since 1996, we’ve partnered with exceptional entrepreneurs in Europe, the U.S. and Israel, who are using technology to reshape the world around us.   The companies they’ve started include Adyen, Deliveroo, Dropbox, Farfetch, King, Slack and Supercell.

Now that technology is part of everyone’s life and reconfiguring the traditional economy, sector by sector, we are no longer just “tech” investors. Indeed, we are convinced that every aspect of human life and economic activity can be transformed and improved by technology and entrepreneurial passion -- and that we are just at the start of this era. 

Index Partners cover every investment stage, from earliest seed through to explosive growth. We believe that opportunity is a mindset and we look for people who spot something others haven’t seen; something that they foresee can change the world and are committed to realising.

More than anything, we are passionate about building lifelong relationships with the entrepreneurs we work with, which is why they are our best reference.

Our vision for the web is that it becomes more decentralised, immutable and permanent. We want to support entrepreneurs upgrading the internet.

The empowerment of users: entrepreneurs have long been democratising technology; that, in turn is democratising capabilities, empowering users and organisations to do things they couldn’t before, or do them a lot better, cheaper and faster. Over time these enabling technologies can evolve into meaningful platforms and / or networks. Even though a lot of empowerment has happened through desktop and mobile internet, we think we are just getting started.

The liberation of data: entrepreneurs can make data more free, usable, portable and positively influence the balance of power over data. We think a lot of interesting things will happen at the intersection of control, value and meaning from data for both individuals and organisations.

So we are trying not to think of the world too much in terms of specific sectors — but rather what the macro level economic and social changes are that technology is driving. There are a few other things we are excited about and we’ll make sure to keep an open mind. And of course we are most excited about the opportunity to work with entrepreneurs every day. This is why we get out of bed in the morning and don’t mind chewing through a topic on 2am on a Saturday morning.

At its core BlueYard is a product for entrepreneurs, everything follows from that. That is our guiding principle.
