David Eisner founded Dataprise in 1995, a managed IT and cybersecurity firm backed by Trinity Hunt Partners since 2023.
Dataprise
Dataprise was founded in 1995 by David Eisner in Rockville, Maryland. The firm grew organically for over two decades as a privately held managed services provider focused on small and midsize businesses, government contractors, and associations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Unlike many IT services firms that remained lifestyle businesses, Dataprise scaled its recurring-revenue model to a point where it attracted institutional capital, marking a structural shift in ownership and ambition. The firm's strategy centers on managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services delivered through a fixed-fee, subscription-based model. Key service lines include 24/7 help desk support, network operations center monitoring, cloud migration and management on Microsoft Azure and AWS, and a dedicated cybersecurity practice branded as CYBER94. In recent years, the company expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of Centreville, Virginia-based Dymin Systems in 2021 to deepen its managed security expertise (per the firm's official communications, 2021). Its client base spans professional services, nonprofits, and government contractors concentrated in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan corridor. In November 2023, private equity firm Trinity Hunt Partners acquired a majority stake in Dataprise. David Eisner retained a significant equity position and continued as CEO. The transaction provided a liquidity event for the founder while recapitalizing the business for an acquisition-driven growth strategy (per Trinity Hunt Partners, November 2023). The firm also operates a cyber division, CYBER94, launched as a dedicated managed detection and response unit. Headcount and revenue remain privately held. Dataprise's structural differentiator lies in its transition from a pure founder-led MSP to a PE-backed roll-up platform within the fragmented managed services industry. This hybrid posture—retaining the founder as active CEO under institutional ownership—positions the firm to consolidate smaller regional providers through a repeatable acquisition playbook, while maintaining the operational continuity that the founder's tenure provides.
