Index Ventures Raises $2B Across Three Funds Following Wiz Windfall

TechCrunch · United States · Jul 31, 2026

Index Ventures has closed $2 billion in fresh capital across three funds, including $400M for a seed fund, $900M for a venture fund, and a $700M add-on to its existing growth fund, bringing total available capital to $3.5 billion. The raise follows a landmark year for the firm, highlighted by Wiz's $32 billion sale to Alphabet — a deal that likely returned approximately $3.8 billion on Index's 12% stake. For staffing firms serving tech and startup clients, the capital infusion signals continued investment activity in AI, robotics, and enterprise software, sectors that drive high-volume technical hiring demand. Index's AI portfolio bets — including Physical Intelligence, Fireworks AI, and Anthropic — point to sustained hiring needs in specialized engineering and ML roles.
