GCP announces first and final close of Fund VI at £411m, reaching hard cap three months after official launch

Growth Capital Partners (GCP), a leading UK investor specialising in the knowledge economy, has announced the first and final close of GCP Fund VI at £411 million, reaching its hard cap. The fund launched in late March and reached final close in just three months, following strong demand from existing and new investors.

The fundraise exceeded its £350 million target and was oversubscribed at its hard cap. The close represents a 58% increase in size from Fund V and includes support from prestigious new LPs across Europe and the US, alongside strong re-ups from GCP’s existing investor base.

Fund VI will continue GCP’s established strategy of partnering with ambitious Founder-led teams in high-margin, high-growth businesses underpinned by distinctive intellectual capital. It will build on the firm’s track record of successfully working with exceptional companies within technology and specialist services, and of providing strategic support, tools, and extensive experience to accelerate and de-risk growth.

The close follows strong recent performance from GCP Fund V – the firm’s first fund dedicated exclusively to the knowledge economy. So far in 2025, Fund V has achieved two major realisations: cybersecurity specialist Bridewell and digital services and data consultancy Hippo. 

Rede Partners is proud to have worked with GCP on this highly successful fundraise, and greatly values its close strategic partnership with GCP.
