[http://www.tornado-insider.com/radar/compShow.asp?compID=4657] The main areas the fund invests in are Information Technology and Life Sciences [http://www.indexventures.com/cgi-local/ivw_approach.cgi?spgid=8] . The fund's most famous investments have been in Skype [http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=119130] , MySQL, and Betfair [http://www.thealarmclock.com/mt/archives/2005/02/oh_danny_boy.html] .

Although based in Europe and focussed mainly (but not exclusively) on investing there, Index is considered to have the investment philosophy of a typical Silicon Valley venture capitalist and to have unusually strong business relations in Silicon Valley for a European investor.
