About

Development Capital, established in 2013 and headquartered in Dublin, is an Irish growth capital fund manager focused on scaling mid-sized, profitable Irish SMEs with strong export potential. The firm typically invests between €2 million and €12 million in ambitious companies, using flexible financing structures such as equity, quasi-equity, or debt, and typically holds minority stakes with a five-year investment horizon. Development Capital is committed to supporting companies with growth strategies, ranging from international expansions to strategic acquisitions and production capacity increases. The fund’s €75 million Fund II, supported by the European Investment Fund and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, targets Irish SMEs poised for international growth. Notable portfolio companies include Version 1, a leading IT services provider, and Spotlight Oral Care, a premium oral care brand. Through their investments, Development Capital has helped companies like Perigord expand globally and develop new products. Perigord, a leader in life sciences packaging, was acquired by Tech Mahindra, allowing Development Capital to successfully exit its investment. The firm prides itself on offering more than just capital. It partners closely with management teams to maximize growth potential, bringing industry experience and market insights to every engagement. With a focus on responsible investing, Development Capital integrates ESG factors throughout its investment process, ensuring sustainable and impactful growth for its portfolio companies.
