YPOG advises Generation Tech Partners on the launch of a new private equity fund with a capital base of more than 50 million EUR. The fund targets the acquisition of owner-managed service companies in the German Mittelstand in succession situations and is structured for a total acquisition volume of up to 120 million EUR. The investor base consists predominantly of international institutional investors, including the fund-of-funds managers Access Capital Partners and Qualitas Funds as well as a European pension fund, complemented by entrepreneurial private investors and family offices.
Generation Tech Partners, based in Hamburg, is a private equity investor focused on the German Mittelstand. The team acquires owner-managed B2B service companies with EBITDA in the range of 0.5 to 5 million EUR in order to provide succession solutions for family- and founder-owned businesses. Generation Tech Partners combines an entrepreneurial investment approach with a clear focus on digital and AI-driven transformation projects in established companies.
“The collaboration with Generation Tech Partners shows how an entrepreneurial investment approach can be combined with clear, proven structures. We are pleased to support the team in implementing its strategy in the market for medium-sized service companies,” says Fabian Euhus, Partner at YPOG.
The capital raised by the fund is intended to be invested in building a diversified portfolio of around 30 investments in owner-managed service companies in the German lower mid-market. By combining operational AI expertise with disciplined private equity governance, the portfolio companies are to be positioned for sustainable growth and modern succession solutions.
