GP & CO-FOUNDER

    Sebastian Herfurth

    Sebastian Herfurth is General Partner and Co-Founder of Generation Tech Partners. He leads deal structuring and due diligence.

    Background

    • 15+ years across transactions and corporate finance
    • Focus on German Mittelstand succession deals
    • Deal structuring, due diligence and financing architecture

    Role at Generation Tech Partners

    Sebastian owns the transaction itself: structure, purchase agreement, diligence scope and timeline. His working principle is that diligence should only cover what changes the decision — everything else is friction for a seller who is still running a business.

    Sellers who want to understand the mechanics of a share deal versus an asset deal, or how earn-outs are handled, usually end up in a call with him.
