Index Ventures

Index Ventures is a globally recognised technology-focused VC operating primarily out of London and San Francisco, with a portfolio spanning SaaS, FinTech, Consumer, AI, and Enterprise software. The firm writes cheques from approximately $1M to $50M, covering Seed through Series B, making it relevant for Indian founders at early and growth inflection points. While Index does not operate as a dedicated India fund, it has demonstrated selective interest in Indian-origin companies where the founding team is building for global markets rather than primarily domestic ones. For Indian founders, the key to gaining traction with Index is framing the opportunity around global product ambition, strong early traction, and a scalable go-to-market beyond India. The firm tends to back high-conviction bets on founding teams with a clear technology edge and a credible path to market leadership. Warm introductions through portfolio founders or co-investors significantly improve response rates. Before reaching out, founders should review Index's recent investments to confirm current sector emphasis and whether they are leading rounds at your stage. A concise outreach note that anchors on product differentiation, early metrics, and the global market opportunity will resonate most with their investment team.
