Munich-based Acton Capital, a growth-stage venture capital firm, announced that it has closed its Fund VI at €225M to invest throughout Europe and Canada. This fund marks Acton Capital’s largest to date, bringing its total capital to nearly €1B.
Acton Capital continues to support early-stage companies, prioritising startups with sustainable scaling strategies and proven business models.
Dominik Alvermann, Managing Partner at Acton Capital says, “At Acton, we have always focused on growth that is driven by reason rather than short-term momentum. We are launching Fund VI in a market environment where this approach is more crucial than ever.”
“In the current market cycle, the need to balance an attractive growth profile and solid financial fundamentals will be of paramount importance.”
“Our high conviction investment approach and the experience from five prior fund generations put us in a great place to be a truly meaningful partner to current and future founders,” adds Alvermann.
