Index Ventures focuses on generational leaders not exit timing

Index Ventures doesn't manage for liquidity events but partners with generational entrepreneurs, equipping them to succeed; the recent liquidity window (Wiz, Dream Games, Scale AI, Figma, Revolut secondaries) is a byproduct of this long-term approach.

AI in Healthcaretailwind
Healthcare's data richness makes it perfect ground for AI transformation
Healthcare combines massive personalization needs, abundant data points, and high-stakes treatment decisions, creating ideal conditions for AI to transform claims processing, triage, clinician matching, and personalized care programs — though regulated liability requires guardrails.

AI as Enabler in Hard Industriestailwind
AI unlocks value in regulated, complex sectors like fintech, healthcare, manufacturing, space
Hard industries (fintech, healthcare, aerospace, hardware/manufacturing, space) have high barriers — capital requirements, regulation, operational complexity, liability — where AI can compress development cycles on the supply side and deliver better products, making them prime targets for investment.

Backing generational entrepreneurs remains the north star across technology waves
Index Ventures evaluates founders on daring ambition, resilience, clarity, execution ability, and talent attraction — criteria that endure across tech waves (fintech, AI, etc.) — rather than chasing sector hype; the best outcomes emerge in hard industries where founders personally felt the problem.

Portfolio network density drives second-time founder flywheel
Successful portfolio companies (IGN, Revolut) spawn remarkable rates of second-time entrepreneurs; Index amplifies this by fostering portfolio family connections and best-practice sharing, making network density a compounding advantage in sourcing and supporting founders.
