Ogier advises Index Ventures on three fund closings totalling US$3.5 billion

Ogier's Jersey Investment Funds team has advised Index Ventures on the closings of Index Ventures XIII, Index Origin III and the further closing of Index Ventures Growth VII, representing US$3.5 billion new investing capital across seed, venture and growth.

Index Ventures is a global venture capital firm that invests primarily in early-stage companies in Europe, Israel or the US with the ambition to take their product or service to the global market. Index Origin III invests primarily in pre-Series A companies. Index Ventures XIII will invest primarily in early-stage companies targeting global markets in the digital and technology fields. Index Ventures Growth VII invests primarily in development, growth and other late-stage private and small-cap public companies.

Partners Niamh Lalor and Alexandra O'Grady led the Ogier Jersey team and were assisted by counsel Joanna Christensen and senior associate Ryan Ripamonti.

Alexandra O'Grady said: "Ogier is delighted to have supported Index Ventures on the successful launch of Index Origin III and Index Ventures XIII, alongside the further closing of Index Ventures Growth VII, each attracting strong investor demand.

"We were delighted to assist Index Ventures in delivering coordinated and efficient closings across multiple funds."

The Ogier team worked closely with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett as lead counsel, Travers Smith as UK counsel and administrator EFG Fund Services.

Ogier also advised longstanding client Index Ventures on its previous double fund raise in July 2024 for Index Ventures XII and Index Ventures Growth VII.
