We are proud to have advised Ruth Janssens and Kris Vandenberk on the successful second closing of the imec.istart future fund, further strengthening its mission to back high-potential early-stage deep tech ventures.
This round brings several million euros in fresh capital from prominent founders including Jeroen De Wit (Teamleader), Jorn Vanysacker and Gilles Mattelin (Lexis® Create+, formerly Henchman), Jürgen Degrande (Edgard & Cooper | B Corp), Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), and Jan Hollez (Deliverect).
The fund reinforces imec’s strategy of translating frontier innovation into scalable startups with global ambition.
Congratulations to the entire future fund team and all visionary investors involved.
Cresco’s deal team included Glenn L’hoëst, David Dessers, Dominik Verbist, and Bas Stobbelaar.
