Private equity firm EOS Partners has acquired a majority stake in Drooms, the Frankfurt-based provider of virtual data rooms and due diligence software, as part of a transaction aimed at supporting the company’s next phase of growth and international expansion.
Following the deal, co-founder and former co-CEO Jan Hoffmeister will leave the company after 25 years, while existing shareholder J.F. Müller & Sohn AG will exit its investment. Co-founder Alexandre Grellier will remain chief executive officer.
Founded in Germany, Drooms provides digital platforms used for due diligence, asset transactions and document management, particularly within the real estate sector. The company said it plans to use the investment to strengthen its market position, expand internationally and continue developing automation and artificial intelligence tools for transaction processes.
According to Drooms, the company recorded its highest revenues and profits in 2024 and 2025 despite challenging transaction market conditions. It also reported overall growth of approximately 20 percent in 2025.
EOS Partners focuses on investments in software, technology-enabled services, industrial technology and healthcare companies across Europe. The firm stated that it intends to support Drooms’ further development and expansion.
Legal and financial advisers involved in the transaction included Simmons & Simmons and Stifel Financial Corp. on behalf of Drooms, while EOS Partners was advised by several firms including KPMG and EY.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
