About

I’m Ben Holmes, a Partner at Index Ventures, based in London. The views expressed here are mine and not necessarily those of Index Ventures – although there is hopefully not too much divergence!

At Index Ventures I focus on finding and supporting great companies in the following sectors

  • social media;
  • online entertainment and gaming;
  • mobile;
  • ecommerce;

Getting in touch about investment

If you have a business plan and are considering raising finance please do contact me. The Index Ventures site has lots of helpful information about sectors, stage and other investment criteria as well as other useful information about how we evaluate opportunities and the investment process. This presentation also covers some personal thoughts on how I evaluate opportunities and what to expect from working with a VC in respect of process and terms.

I try to get a response to everyone within a reasonable timeframe. Sometimes I fail in this…  If this has been the case, apologies and please do get back in touch.

Press, Media and Conferences

I frequently participate in conferences and other events and also happy to contribute views to media coverage of the above sectors and on the venture capital industry itself.

Company Involvement

I represent Index on the board of these Companies. They are all great companies which I am lucky to be involved with.
