What Drooms does

Drooms is a Frankfurt am Main-headquartered virtual data room (VDR) provider founded in 2001 that has grown into Europe's leading data-room platform for secure transaction document management. The company's core offering is a cloud-based SaaS platform that supports M&A due diligence, real estate transactions, fundraising, non-performing loan (NPL) portfolio sales, asset lifecycle management, and digitisation/sourcing workflows, with 40,000+ clients, 230,000+ users, 50,000+ projects, and €7B+ in facilitated transaction value to date.

The platform is delivered in two tiers: Drooms FLEX (a self-service product for SMBs and smaller transactions with a freemium entry tier at €44/month Professional and €358/month Business) and Drooms TRANSACTION (an enterprise full-service tier with a dedicated Customer Success Manager providing 24/7 support, custom pricing, and optional Real Estate Services for document preparation). The technology stack includes an in-house developed AI Assistant for instant document analysis, Q&A workflow management, OCR-based translation, automated redaction, Auto Naming and Auto Allocation, secure Chat, an Online Archive, and the Drooms Hub multi-room management interface, all running on georedundant European servers with 99.9% uptime and ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27018, TÜV, C5, and GDPR compliance certifications.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions across the FLEX and TRANSACTION tiers, supplemented by professional services for real estate deal preparation. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led self-serve signup via a freemium tier for SMBs, combined with enterprise field sales and dedicated account management for complex M&A and real estate transactions. Distribution spans 10 office locations across 8 European countries (Germany, Switzerland, UK, France, Italy, Spain with two offices, Netherlands, and an engineering/R&D office in Bulgaria). In June 2026, EOS Partners acquired a majority stake to fund international expansion and further AI-driven automation initiatives.
