What DTCP does

DTCP (Digital Transformation Capital Partners GmbH) is a Hamburg-headquartered, BaFin-regulated investment management firm founded in 2015 that invests across the digital stack through two parallel core strategies — DTCP Infra, which targets European mid-market digital infrastructure assets including data centers (maincubes, GreenScale, Atlantic Hub subsea cables), mobile towers (Cellnex Netherlands), and fiber networks (Community Fibre, Open Dutch Fiber, Dark Fiber Group, Fiber Experts) — and DTCP Growth, a minority growth-equity strategy focused on European, US and Israeli enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, vertical SaaS, DevOps, cloud, AI and robotics companies at Series B and beyond. Underlying both strategies is DTCP Flightpath, a proprietary in-house analytics software platform that benchmarks SaaS companies across more than 40 KPIs and is used by DTCP's investment teams to support underwriting and portfolio diagnostics.

The firm's revenue model is classic institutional investment management: recurring management fees on approximately €3.6 billion of AUM split across DTCP Infra (roughly €2.3 billion Strategy AUM), DTCP Growth, and the newly launched Project Liberty €500 million defence, security and resilience fund, plus carried interest on successful exits. DTCP augments its core strategies with a Partnerships platform that includes T.Capital (strategic capital for parent Deutsche Telekom AG), a joint venture with Porsche SE called Incharge Capital Partners focused on mobility technology, and a January 2026 partnership with Spark Capital for a new growth and infrastructure vehicle.

DTCP operates as a specialist, digitally native investment platform with ~60 professionals across offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, London, Luxembourg, San Francisco, Tel Aviv and Valencia. It has executed 50+ investments and 17+ exits, with notable exits including Signavio and LeanIX (both to SAP), Cognigy (to NiCE), Keepler (to Accenture), Dremio (to SAP), Cellwize (to Qualcomm), NS1 (to IBM), Pipedrive (Vista Equity Partners majority investment) and Cloudreach (to Eviden/Atos). DTCP is regulated as a German Wertpapierinstitut under Section 15 WpIG and supervised by BaFin.
