LDC Invests in Daintta to Boost Secure Technology Services

LDC, a prominent private equity investor in the United Kingdom, has secured a significant investment stake in Daintta, a professional services firm focused on delivering complex technology solutions into secure environments on April 21, 2026. Founded in 2019 and based in London with an additional office in Cheltenham, Daintta provides technical and business consulting services across data intelligence, cybersecurity, networks and communications, and AI engineering.

The transaction, expected to complete in May 2026 pending customary regulatory approval under the National Security and Investment Act (NSIA), supports Daintta’s ambitious organic growth strategy. The deal value was not disclosed.

Daintta has grown rapidly since its inception, now employing over 80 consultants and engineers. The firm serves a diverse client base including central government departments, healthcare providers, and telecommunications companies. It has earned recognition for its innovative approach to solving complex data challenges, featuring in The Financial Times’ FT1000: Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies list in both 2025 and 2026.

LDC’s investment will enable Daintta to expand its professional services offerings and deepen its security-critical competencies. The private equity firm’s involvement also brings enhanced governance and strategic oversight, with Joseph Fison and Alex (last name not disclosed) joining Daintta’s board following the transaction. The deal was led for LDC by senior investment professionals, including the head of its London office.

Justin Teutsch, Co-Founder and CEO of Daintta, emphasized the importance of selecting a strategic partner aligned with the company’s values and culture. He stated, “Daintta’s vision is to underpin UK national resilience, and we have built a high performing team of mission-led experts. Selecting the right strategic partner was critical for us, our clients and our people.”

Joseph Fison, Investment Director at LDC, added, “We’ve spent significant time getting to know Justin and the team at Daintta and have been hugely impressed by their ambition and technical expertise. The business has built an exceptional reputation for client service and has a strong culture focused on attracting and retaining the highest quality technical talent.”

In recent years, LDC has invested over £717 million into technology-focused companies with a combined enterprise value of £1.9 billion. Its portfolio includes firms specializing in capital markets technology, automotive leasing solutions, and secure cloud infrastructure.

The transaction was supported by a range of advisors. LDC was advised by Canaccord Genuity (corporate finance), Clearwater (debt advisory), Freeths (legal), Queen’s Tower (financial due diligence), and Armstrong (commercial due diligence). Daintta received advisory support from Clearwater (corporate finance), Osborne Clarke (legal), RSM (financial due diligence), CIL (commercial due diligence), and Bernard Rogers & Co (accounting).

Market trends indicate growing demand for secure technology services, particularly in government, healthcare, and telecommunications sectors. Daintta’s enhanced capabilities in cybersecurity and AI engineering position it well to capitalize on these opportunities. The investment is expected to strengthen Daintta’s competitive position, potentially accelerating consolidation in the UK secure technology services market.

Looking ahead, Daintta plans to scale its consultant and engineer workforce, invest in research and development, and expand its client base. Maintaining company culture and retaining key technical talent will be critical challenges as the firm grows under LDC’s ownership.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Daintta as it seeks to deepen its impact on UK national resilience through advanced secure technology solutions.
