"Brussels-based investor Syndicate One has hit a funding milestone with the €22 million first close of its second early-stage tech fund, underscoring a growing confidence in Belgium's startup ecosystem. The new capital builds on the firm's first fund, which closed at €6.5 million in late 2024, and will be deployed to support early-stage Belgian tech companies, wherever they are based and irrespective of sector."
"Founded in 2022, Syndicate One combines startup capital with a founder-led network of experienced operators, investors and ecosystem builders aiming to give Belgian entrepreneurs more than just checks. Its investors include over 120 founders and ecosystem figures, including alumni of companies such as Aikido Security, Collibra, Warren and Qover, as well as institutional backers like Sofina, Finhouse and COI."
"It also offers workshops, community events and a podcast to share insights directly from founders and operators. "We're proud that many of the founders previously backed by Syndicate One are now investors in the fund themselves. This is a testament to Belgium's ever-faster-spinning tech flywheel, and to our conviction that nurturing future unicorns and the ecosystem that breeds them creates a virtuous circle," said Syndicate One founder Laurens De Poorter in one LinkedIn post."
