DTCP, a global investment management platform with over €3 billion in assets under management, is stepping into the defense and security space with the launch of its eighth fund.
This new initiative, called Project Liberty, marks the company’s first fund dedicated specifically to technologies that strengthen defense, security, and resilience.
Project Liberty Targets Cutting-Edge Defense Technologies
Under the leadership of Thomas Preuß, Chief Investment Officer, Project Liberty aims to attract investments from institutional investors, family offices, and corporations.
The fund will focus on supporting companies that develop defense and dual-use technologies, enhancing Europe’s long-term technological capabilities and security resilience.
The fund’s investment priorities include software solutions, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems, all of which are considered vital to modern defense infrastructure.
A European Focus with Global Reach
While the primary focus remains on European investments, Project Liberty may selectively invest in companies based in NATO member states and allied countries, especially where such investments align with European security priorities.
This strategic approach ensures the fund contributes not just to innovation, but also to regional and allied defense capabilities.
Investment Strategy and Portfolio Ambitions
Project Liberty is actively looking at Series A to C companies, planning to invest in up to 30 firms with an average ticket size of around €20 million.
The fund builds on DTCP’s decade-long experience in IT and security technology investments, leveraging its existing portfolio of companies such as Arctic Wolf, Axonius, Zenity, Anomali, Ox Security, and Quantum Systems.
DTCP’s Track Record in Technology Investment
Founded in 2025 and led by CEO Vicente Vento, DTCP manages roughly €3 billion across multiple technology and infrastructure funds.
The firm has completed over 50 investments globally, achieving more than 19 successful exits.
Its growth portfolio features well-known companies including Groq (Nvidia), Cognigy (Nice), LeanIX (SAP), Signavio (SAP), Auth0 (Okta), Fastly (IPO), Pipedrive (Vista Equity Partners), and Quantum Systems.
A Global Footprint
DTCP operates internationally with offices in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Berlin, Luxembourg, London, San Francisco, and Tel Aviv, giving it the global reach needed to identify and nurture innovative technology companies.
With Project Liberty, the firm is positioning itself to play a significant role in the future of European defense technology.
Looking Ahead
With the launch of Project Liberty, DTCP is not just expanding its portfolio—it’s contributing to Europe’s technological sovereignty and security resilience, while continuing to deliver strategic returns for its investors.
The coming years will reveal how this ambitious defense-focused fund shapes the region’s innovation landscape.
