Just want to clarify that this fund, the Index Growth Fund, has been raised with the purpose of investing in late(r) stage companies - not seed or early stage investments. We will of course continue to invest in early stage companies, as we’ve always done, but those investments will come out of the Index IV fund which was raised last year.

I wish them luck. They’re great guys at Index - down to earth, smart and always helping out in the local startup scene here in Geneva.

Tchruncher2, it’s for late stage and not for seed. There is a mistake in the mashable article. It’s not possible to have early stage funds between €20 million and €50 million as indicated on the Mashable Article.

Eric - is it for early or late stage ?

Mashable are reporting conflicting view - they are saying “seed and early-stage” investments ?
