ABOUT DANIEL SZABO
Most GPs talk about AI. I\'ve spent 15 years deploying it — as a founder who built, scaled across 20+ countries, and exited a 450-person AI organization. Today, with Generation Tech Partners, I acquire owner-managed German Mittelstand B2B service companies (€0.5–5M EBITDA) in succession situations — directly and through M&A advisors — and lead them into the next decade with AI. → For owners: Passing on your life\'s work? We buy directly, with our own capital, give feedback within 72 hours, and hold for the long term. No broker required — but happy to work through yours. → For M&A advisors: Have a mandate in B2B services (€0.5–5M EBITDA)? I\'m a fast, reliable buyer with high deal certainty — and I pay market-standard fees on introduced transactions. → For investors: AI isn\'t a thesis on a slide for us — it\'s the operating model. Structured AI value creation post-acquisition, digital-native operator-CEOs, EBITDA growth beyond what financial engineering alone can deliver.
