A new early-stage fund: Syndicate One raises €22M for Belgium’s startups
Brussels-based investor Syndicate One has successfully closed its second early-stage tech fund at €22 million, signaling a significant boost of confidence in Belgium's burgeoning startup landscape. This substantial funding injection aims to fuel innovation by supporting nascent technology companies within the region. The new fund significantly surpasses the €6.5 million raised by Syndicate One's inaugural fund in late 2024, demonstrating a clear upward trajectory for the firm and its commitment to the Belgian tech scene. This capital will be strategically allocated to early-stage Belgian tech ventures, providing crucial seed funding to help them scale and develop. This development is particularly impactful for Belgium's ambition to foster greater digital sovereignty within Europe, by cultivating its own innovative tech companies. By nurturing these startups, the investment contributes to building a more robust and independent European digital ecosystem, reducing reliance on external technology giants.
