The fund is supported by fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals from across Europe. 6DC is an eight-person early-stage VC firm with offices in London and Antwerp.

Thibault D’hondt and Lucas Stoops, partners at 6DC, said: “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."

Wouter Volckaert, managing partner, 6DC, said: “As with previous funds, our ambition is to deliver top-decile performance and invest in multiple fund returners per vintage."

So far, 6 Degrees Capital has invested in and partnered with over 70 companies across its different funds.
