Growth Capital Partners has closed its sixth fund at £411m, reaching its hard cap.
Described as an investor specialising in the knowledge economy, GCP said the fund launched in late March and reached final close in just three months following strong demand.
Fund VI exceeded its £350m target and represents a 58% increase in size from Fund V. It includes support from prestigious new LPs across Europe and the US, alongside strong re-ups from GCP’s existing investor base.
GCP’s strategy is to partner with ambitious founder-led teams in high-margin, high-growth businesses underpinned by distinctive intellectual capital, with technology and specialist services a particular focus.
So far in 2025, Fund V has achieved two major realisations: cybersecurity specialist Bridewell (generating 9.3x return), and digital services and data consultancy Hippo.
“This fundraise – completed in just three months and with demand outweighing supply – is a clear reflection of the strength of our team, track record and distinct strategy alongside a compelling market opportunity,” said Kirsty McDonald, partner at GCP.
“We’d like to thank our existing investors for their continued strong support and warmly welcome our new partners. We’re excited about working together to further future success.”
