21 Apr 2026
Daintta, a leading professional services firm delivering technology into secure environments, has secured a significant investment from private equity investor, LDC.
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in London with an office in Cheltenham, Daintta provides technical and business professional services, helping clients to design, secure and protect their data and technology systems. It delivers high-complexity technology projects across data intelligence, cyber security, networks and communications and AI engineering.
Daintta has built a team of more than 80 highly skilled consultants and engineers, establishing itself as a trusted partner to both public and private sector clients including central government departments and companies in the healthcare and telecommunications sectors. The business works in complex environments and uses innovative methods to solve the hardest data challenges to help organisations make more informed and accurate decisions.
Daintta has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by increasing demand for its market-leading services. It was featured in The FT1000: Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies ranking in both 2025 and 2026.
LDC is backing Daintta’s management team, led by co-founders Justin Teutsch, Abu Sayed and M Alexander. The investment will support the business’ ambitious organic growth strategy, underpinned by the expansion of its professional services and the continued deepening of its specialist, security‑critical competencies.
The investment was led for LDC by Joseph Fison and Alex White. Nicol Fraser, Head of LDC’s London office, also supported the transaction. Following the transaction, Joseph and Alex will join the Board as Non-Executive Directors.
Justin Teutsch, Co-Founder and CEO of Daintta, said: “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. We wanted to work with a partner that understood our market, shared our values and was aligned in preserving the culture that has been fundamental to our success.”
LDC has a strong brand and heritage in the UK as part of Lloyds Banking Group and gives us the platform to accelerate our growth plans while maintaining our client-focused, collaborative approach.”
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. We’re excited to support the team as they continue to scale the business and expand their capabilities in this high-growth market.”
In the last decade, LDC has invested more than £717m into technology businesses with a combined enterprise value of £1.9bn. These include Etrading Software, which designs, builds and operates highly specialised technology solutions for global capital markets, i247, a provider of technology-led solutions for the automotive leasing sector, and Aker Systems, a secure cloud data infrastructure provider.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approval under the National Security and Investment Act (NSIA) and is expected to complete in May 2026.
