What Romania Capital Partners does

Romania Capital Partners Inc. is a US-incorporated, privately-held hybrid financial vehicle headquartered at One Rockefeller Plaza, New York, operating under the registered brand Romania Investment Partners. Founded in 2016, the firm is structured as an Evergreen Type capital platform with a permanent capital base exceeding USD 1 billion, sourced from global institutional investors and global financial/capital-markets operations. It is conceived and operated exclusively to provide capital to Romanian businesses (SRL and SA legal entities), spanning the full company lifecycle and the entire capital structure through a "Funding Escalator" approach.

The firm delivers capital via two proprietary technology platforms — CloudFunding (access2capital.co) for 100% online B2B application processing, and iBank.Markets for interactive investment-banking deal execution connecting Romanian companies with international investors. Its program portfolio covers Venture Capital, Private Equity & Debt, Project Finance, Special Situations (distressed and restructuring), EU structural-fund co-financing, plus tier-specific Direct Investment and Direct Financing lines for Startup, Micro, and Small companies (ranging from EUR 50K to EUR 3M per transaction) and a corporate tier requiring minimum EUR 5M revenue. Local Partner financial-consulting firms in Romania support applicants with consultation and business plan preparation, with that collaboration mandatory from 2025.

The firm monetizes through a diversified revenue mix: equity-participation returns on direct investments (typically 10–20% stakes), variable interest income on direct financing priced at Euribor plus a 3–7% risk margin, investment-banking and corporate-finance advisory fees across M&A, capital markets, real estate, and project finance, and platform service fees. Operating presence extends to New York (corporate headquarters), London (Customers Management Center for Romanian-language support), and Romanian territory through the Local Partners network. No public financials, funding rounds, M&A activity, or headcount are disclosed.
