Eterus Capital is a private equity fund founded in 2008, specializing in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises with proven business models and growth potential. The fund focuses on minority investments, ensuring management control remains with the original shareholders. Over the years, Eterus Capital has provided more than US$41 million (€40 million) in funding to over 20 companies.

EC Pharmacies is a joint venture between Eterus Capital and Ethernum Capital, established to consolidate the Slovak pharmacy market through a "buy-and-build" strategy. The objective is to acquire 25–50 targeted pharmacies, improve operational performance, centralize marketing and supply chains and ultimately sell the established network to a strategic partner. Since its inception, EC Pharmacies has acquired nine pharmacies with an estimated annual portfolio revenue of US$6.2 million (€6 million). The company plans to expand its network by launching and acquiring additional operations in the near future, further strengthening its market presence.
