6 Degrees Capital closes new €154 million fund
Ready to back unconventional and unapologetic founders
London & Antwerp, 3 December, 2025
6 Degrees Capital (6DC), an early-stage venture capital firm investing in outlier founders at Seed and Series A, announced the close of its third fund at €154 million.
Rooted in Europe with a global outlook, 6DC has partnered with more than 70 companies across its fund vintages, helping founders turn bold ambitions into lasting, category-defining companies.
With Fund III, 6DC will back exceptional and unconventional founding teams who are redefining what is possible across Enterprise Software, AI and FinTech.
“When we back founders, we go all in”, said Thibault D’hondt and Lucas Stoops, partners at 6DC. “We don’t follow the herd or wait for consensus. We build conviction from first principles and go the extra mile to truly understand each business. This enables us to back founders with genuine commitment, not just capital. To move fast, cut through the noise, and make every interaction count”.
Early Momentum
6DC III leads Seed and Series A rounds with initial cheques between €1m-€5m and follow-on capital up to €15m per company. The fund hit the ground running and already backed several exciting companies since its first close, including Conveo, FlatPeak, Spruce, Luca, and Artificial.
With AI reshaping entire industries, these companies have launched products, achieved product-market-fit, and scaled revenues at an unprecedented speed. Both the founders and 6DC share a deep conviction in the transformative potential of AI and are seizing the opportunity to redefine the verticals in which they operate.
“The 6DC team recognised our potential to disrupt the insurance industry through automation early on and has been by our side ever since, across Seed, Series A, and Series B” said David King, founder of Artificial. “Hands-on, always available, and truly committed, they have been a driving force behind our success”.
Investor Support
The new fund is backed by a diverse base of fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, family offices, and high-net-worth-individuals across Europe.
“We’re incredibly thankful to our LPs, both returning and new, for their continued trust and commitment, allowing us to close the fund at the hard cap”, said Wouter Volckaert, Managing Partner of 6DC. “As with previous funds, our ambition is to deliver top-decile performance and invest in multiple fund returners per vintage”.
