Opinions on DTCP?
Hey,
What are your opinions on DTCP? Have heard about them, but there isn't a lot of discussion here on them aside from a few posts I could find.
Does anyone know about them, and what is their reputation like outside of Germany, particularly in London and the rest of Europe?
Also curious about the different strategies. Their Infrastructure and Growth Equity business seem to be the more established parts of the platform, while they have also launched a Defence Tech fund. Does anyone have any insight into the reputation of the Defence Tech side specifically, and how it compares with the broader DTCP platform?
Thanks!
Like you pointed out, the Growth and Infrastructure are more well known practice and the Defense fund is very new. Looking at the profile of the team (Partners especially), it doesn’t seem like they have that much prior track record/investing experience in Defence. I would question the pedigree of this team to be able to do deals especially as deals get competitive.
Joining them pretty much puts you on a silo of a “new fund” and pigeon holes you into Defense. My issue is VCs and Growth funds then to raise capital based on what the current hottest area (which is pretty much Defense and Dual Use in Europe at the moment) and might switch strategies later so a big risk whether this strategy/team will be in place in the next few years as the appetite for this sector fizzles out.
Thank you for the answer! Fair point. Do you think the same concerns would apply to someone just doing an internship there, or is that less relevant at junior level?
I think it’s less of concern if it’s an internship cause the experience still counts however don’t expect it to lead you to an analyst/associate role at another Growth Equity or PE funds (since the types of deals and due diligence differs).
I definitely think it can be valuable experience for VC roles but again be aware of the defense pigeon holes.
What would be the biggest differences in deals and dd?
