About This Fund
6 Degrees Capital (6DC) is an early-stage venture capital firm established in October 2022 and registered with the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) as an alternative investment fund manager (registration number 0792.478.221). Headquartered in Antwerp with a co-office in London, the firm is led by Managing Partners Wouter Volckaert and Filip Coen alongside a senior eight-person investment team. The name reflects the 'six degrees of separation' concept, embodying the firm's philosophy that connectivity and conviction compound over time to create extraordinary outcomes.
6DC Fund III deploys initial cheques of €1 million to €5 million at Seed and Series A stage, with follow-on reserves of up to €15 million per portfolio company. The fund is structured around three conviction-led thesis pillars: the Future of Enterprise (mission-critical SaaS, vertical software with embedded intelligence, and scalable infrastructure); AI (teams applying artificial intelligence across the full stack); and the Future of FinTech (embedded finance, payments, digital banking, InsurTech, and crypto infrastructure). The firm targets companies with demonstrated product-market traction — typically generating between $100k and $5m in annual revenue — led by what 6DC describes as 'unconventional and unapologetic founders' building category-defining businesses.
6DC Fund III reached its final close at €154 million in late 2025, attracting a diversified LP base comprising fund-of-funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals across Europe. Across three fund generations since inception, 6DC has backed more than 70 companies, with a portfolio spanning Apaleo (hotel management SaaS), Banxware (embedded lending), Artificial Labs (insurance AI), DoPay (neobank), and Payflow (earned-wage access), among others. Fund III entered deployment prior to final close, with initial investments including Conveo (AI market research platform), FlatPeak (energy software), Spruce, Luca, and Artificial. The fund targets top-decile returns and is engineered to generate multiple fund-returners per vintage.
