- I still pinch myself as it’s been such a privilege to be on this journey and work with so many great people over the years! Thanks to everyone who has enabled us to do the work we do across continents.Today, we are announcing $3.1B in new funds to support the new wave of founders, across stages & locations. Our world has changed profoundly over the last year, creating more openings for entrepreneurs. Their ideas are bold, driven by a desire to make a positive impact.
- congrats to the entire @figmadesign team!!! What an honor it's been to work with you and see how this has developed from the very beginning! So much more to come! figma.com/blog/figmas-se…
- I first met @zoink when he was 18 years old. He blew me away with his conviction and passion for design. Today, @figmadesign celebrates a big milestone with their Series C funding. Here’re my thoughts on their journey. indexventures.com/blog/figma-set…
- Working with founders from the 1st check, seeing their company IPO and their vision becoming reality, is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a VC. Our new seed fund Index Origin is designed to support many more ambitious founders on that journey.From @RobinhoodApp, @figmadesign, @Deliveroo, @productboard and @RevolutApp, seed investing has been in our DNA since day one. Excited for Index Origin to double down on our seed investing efforts!
- What an absolute dream to have a presence in NYC! In true Index fashion, when we decide to open an office, we first move folks to carry the culture and then hire folks….here we come!
- It’s time for a crypto rethink. We need to inject more realism into the discussion. Crypto spring is not coming, it is not the new internet, and there are still too many speculators looking for a quick buck -- but that doesn't mean the dream is dead.
- What an interview! A superb hour that covers so many unique aspects of the way @EmilyWWeiss thinks and builds her company—thank you @karaswisher.@EmilyWWeiss told @karaswisher that @glossier wants to rekindle the “humanity of things and the connections you feel with people” while shopping.

- No doubt there’s some magic in my partner @martinmignot! Always a pleasure to work with him! Martin Mignot, le magicien français d'Index Ventures
- My son is already cooler than I will ever be....
- I've listened to this interview twice. @zoink did an incredible job enabling the brilliance and eloquence of @bchesky to flow through. A must see for all wanting to build iconic products and services that translate into the best businesses. youtu.be/Dkfijg7s76o via @YouTube
- I remember @narimer taking me camping with @DavidBaszucki when I was 15 years old! They already had an incredible friendship and it was inspiring to be around them. What a day some 35 years later ;) To friendship, innovation and @Roblox ! Congrats & honored to be involved.1/ @Roblox ($RBLX) could be considered a 21st-century Disney: a category-defining media company that surfed waves of demographic and technological change to create totally new forms of entertainment and human interaction.

- This, for me, was important not only for America but really for the entire West. Very excited @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris.
