Personalia

AI-native M&A boutique expands its partnership and brings AI-supported deal support to owners, investors and new industries

Lahnstein, 14 October 2026 - promerget GmbH, an AI-native M&A boutique for the Mittelstand in the DACH region, has appointed Aladar Tepelea as Partner. Together with founder Johann Horch, Tepelea will extend promerget's offering to private equity and venture capital firms, wealth managers and business owners and open the platform to partners from other industries.

promerget combines hands-on transaction experience with six proprietary AI core agents backed by around 300 specialised agents. The core agents cover every phase of a transaction: identifying targets (ATLAS), financial due diligence (NEXUS), legal due diligence (CIPHER), valuation (QUANTUM), buyer and partner matching (VECTOR) and post-merger integration (ORACLE). The agents work in parallel rather than sequentially; every critical decision remains with humans. The focus is on FinTech/WealthTech and Travel Tech, with transaction sizes of EUR 10 to 250 million. promerget handles sell-side, buy-side and buy-and-build mandates, including post-closing integration.

Johann Horch brings the practical experience behind the model: within three years he completed ten acquisitions, integrated seven brands, ten locations in five countries and around 300 employees onto a common platform, and closed the exit to a private equity investor.

Aladar Tepelea has built companies, developed investment technology with ALLINDEX and has long been working on how artificial intelligence is changing the way companies operate. He brings an established network of owners of wealth management firms, private equity and venture capital investors and entrepreneurs from various industries.

Johann Horch, founder and Managing Director of promerget GmbH, said (quote translated in substance) that in the past people did the groundwork, while today promerget's agents take this over, freeing up time for what decides every deal: trust, negotiation and the conversation with the owner. With Aladar Tepelea, promerget gains a partner who brings exactly these relationships and a deep understanding of technology.

Aladar Tepelea, Partner at promerget, said (quote translated in substance) that he wants to find out what happens when decades of deal experience meet hundreds of AI agents, and to ensure that owners and investors are the first to benefit.

promerget now offers:

Private equity, venture capital and wealth managers: AI agents working directly in their deal flow - more screened targets, faster decisions.
Business owners: personal support throughout the entire transaction, from the first idea to closing and beyond.
Partners from other industries: joint training of the agents on new markets and shared knowledge.
