6 Degrees Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm with offices in London and Antwerp, has closed its third fund, 6DC III, at €154 million, reaching its hard cap as it seeks to invest in unconventional founding teams building category-defining companies across enterprise software, artificial intelligence and fintech. The new fund will focus on Seed and Series A investments with initial checks of €1 million–€5 million and follow-on reserves of up to €15 million per company as part of its conviction-led underwriting strategy. Fund III has already begun deploying capital, backing startups including Conveo, FlatPeak, Spruce, Luca and Artificial since its first close. The firm said its early momentum reflects a rapid pace of change driven by AI and other technologies, enabling companies to reach product-market fit and scale more quickly than in prior cycles. The fund is backed by a diverse group of limited partners from across Europe, including fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals, signalling continued institutional appetite for early-stage European venture strategies despite shifting global venture conditions. 6 Degrees Capital, founded in 2022 and led by partners including Wouter Volckaert, Thibault D’hondt and Lucas Stoops, positions itself as a hands-on partner to founders, combining deep conviction with long-term support beyond capital to help companies navigate the earliest stages of scaling. #venturecapital #fundraising #6DegreesCapital #fundIII #EuropeanVC #enterprise #AI #fintech
