Nico Simeone is the chef and the imagination behind Six by Nico which has restaurants in 15 cities with hundreds of themed menus.

Now as he considers his next move he is looking to his customers for guidance and support.

From this summer there will be a new crowdfunded membership available to diners and Nico hopes to build the largest and more active culinary community in the UK. Those who support the crowdfunder will become part of a closed circle of investors who will be rewarded for their investment and given a say in the future of the brand. That will include opening new restaurants at both home and abroad.

The Six by Nico Founder said: “Six by Nico was built by the people who kept coming back not once, not twice, but again and again. We’re talking about a core community of tens of thousands of loyal guests who dine regularly every year. This isn’t just a customer base – it’s a community. And now, it’s time to bring them even closer. Because the next chapter isn’t just ours – it’s theirs too.

“Every brand reaches a moment of choice. We’ve had an incredible journey so far but what’s next is even more exciting. We’re evolving, expanding, and reimagining what Six by Nico can be. And we want the people who helped build it – our customers to help shape what comes next. This is a new chapter. A new way to raise capital – with our community at the centre. We’re inviting the people who helped build this to invest in what comes next. Not just a seat at the table – but a voice in the vision and a share in what we are building.”

Six by Nico are set to introduce phase one of future plans with the launch of their new digital platform and its first-ever community crowdfund from early August 2025, allowing both visitors and dreamers to participate in and shape the next stage of the restaurant brand’s development.
