Index closes $200 million dedicated seed fund to intensify multi-stage thesis tcrn.ch/2PJPaSJ via @techcrunch
@TechCrunch What I love about this is the framing. Index's roots were in taking early stage bets on European startups when almost no one else believed Europe could generate great VC returns. But Index did.
@TechCrunch Index was early and high-conviction. And it seems Origins is returning Index to those roots.
@TechCrunch “Our view is that seed investing is truly the essence of venture capital,” said Nina Achadjian, a partner at Index who joined in early 2020. “It’s when you as an investor have to take the biggest leap of faith.”
@TechCrunch As someone who has devoted his career to this stage of investing, it's actually a refreshing and inspiring thing to see one of the great firms doubling down on this strategy - and this philosophy.
The market is recognizing that "First Check" is the past, present, and future of exceptional VC performance.
