6 Degrees Capital, an early-stage investor backing companies at Seed & Series A, with substantial follow-on capital available for later rounds, led by Filip Coen, Maxime Vanderstichele, Lucas Stoops, Wouter Volckaert, Thomas Olszewski, Thibault D'hondt, and others, has closed a €154 million fund, with the fund backing enterprise software, AI and fintech startups at seed and Series A stages.

Fund III marks 6DC’s third fund since its launch in 2023.

The vehicle will write initial cheques of €1–5 million, with up to €15 million reserved for follow-on investments. It has already deployed capital into Conveo, the AI research platform, and FlatPeak, the energy startup.

The new fund is supported by a broad mix of fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, family offices, and high-net-worth investors from across Europe.

6DC is an eight-person early-stage venture capital firm based in London and Antwerp.

“We don’t follow the herd or wait for consensus,” said partners Thibault D’hondt and Lucas Stoops. “We build conviction from first principles and go the extra mile to truly understand each business.”

Wouter Volckaert, Managing Partner at 6DC, said: “As with our previous funds, the ambition is to deliver top-decile performance and back multiple fund returners in every vintage.”

To date, 6DC has invested in more than 70 companies across its funds.
