We enable the next growth steps of technology and SME companies.
By entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

M&A Boutique: Unconventional, unbureaucratic and personal.

We see ourselves as the antithesis of a traditional M&A boutique. Fully digital, agile and consistently focused on results for your maximum return. We act fast like a startup and think like an investment bank. From serial entrepreneurs to supporters of your next deal.

Our focus is on equity transactions in the technological growth sector, as well as majority acquisitions in the traditional SME segment.

Alphabet Partners is an independent transaction advisory firm for entrepreneurs in German-speaking countries. Our core focus is on fulfilling the individual goals of owners, management teams and executives, tech companies and SMEs. We support the most innovative business models, turn companies into category leaders and advise venture capital and private equity investors to achieve growth and value creation. We always look at companies from the root and optimize all processes before entering into a transaction. Alphabet Partners is based in Munich and was founded by serial entrepreneurs Enrico Jakob and Julius Traupe.

The decisive difference for your success

We are characterized by our entrepreneurial execution-driven DNA.

Unlike many other transaction consultancies, our origins are mostly not in banking. We are full-blooded entrepreneurs who have already carried out and supported many large transactions. We therefore know what it means to make fundamental entrepreneurial decisions.

We have technology in our blood and understand how technology will change every business model.

In times of artificial intelligence, process automation and robotics, every business model, from growth start-ups to traditional SMEs, will change fundamentally. We understand the implications and consider these issues in every transaction for our clients.

We are unconventional and do not believe in rigid hierarchies.

We are constantly focused on generating maximum added value and good results for our clients. Unnecessary politics and obstructive hierarchies are out of place.
