More on Index Ventures
Description from Wikipedia:
Index Ventures is a venture capital investment firm based in Geneva, Switzerland founded in 1996. Since inception, the firm has raised four main venture funds and a growth capital fund with in excess of €1.5 billion of investor commitments. Index invest primarily in the Information Technology and Life Sciences sectors.
The fund's most famous investments have been in Skype, MySQL, and Betfair.
Although based in Europe and focussed mainly (but not exclusively) on investing there, Index is considered to have the investment philosophy of a typical Silicon Valley venture capitalist and to have unusually strong business relations in Silicon Valley for a European investor.
In 2007 Daniel Rimer, a partner at Index, was named to Forbes Magazine's Midas List of the world's 25 best deal makers in venture capital.
In January 2008, Index Ventures announced the closing of a €400 million growth capital fund, Index Ventures Growth I, which represents the firm's first dedicated growth stage fund.
In March 2009, Index Ventures announced the closing of a €350 million early stage find, Index Ventures V.
