Family Office · DACH
We invest our own capital. The infrastructure we built for it – M&A, exit planning, portfolio analytics and a trusted network – we open to single family offices, multi family offices and entrepreneurs after an exit.
Who we work with
Every family office runs into the same problems: finding and closing deals, turning an exit into a plan, keeping a portfolio honest. We have solved them for ourselves – and we work on them with peers.
Families who want institutional-grade M&A and analytics without building a team of their own for it.
Teams that want sharper tools for their clients and access to proprietary deal flow across DACH.
Founders turning a company into liquid wealth – and planning what that wealth should do next.
Our approach
We are not a service provider looking for mandates. We are a family office looking for partners – and we bring something to the table in every relationship.
We invest our own capital in the deals we work on. Our interests are aligned with yours from the first conversation.
Deals, insight and access flow in both directions. You help us, we help you – a relationship between equals.
We do not manage third-party money and we do not give investment advice. Where a mandate needs a licensed specialist, we bring one in from our network.
Three pillars
Each pillar runs through its own entity with its own focus. Horch Family Office is the roof above them – and the single point of contact.
Horch Ventures · DTV
Early-stage capital through Horch Ventures, growth capital through Deutsche Tech Ventures. We back scalable B2B software with a focus on finance and travel – and we like to do it alongside fellow family offices.
promerget
Our AI-native M&A platform for the DACH mid-market – and the analytics tools we use for our own capital, made available to the family offices we work with.
Network
We know who manages capital well. Where a family needs asset management, wealth planning, legal or tax advice, we connect them with licensed specialists – and stay involved as the coordinating peer.
Network
We work with a deliberately small group of licensed specialists. They take on the mandates we do not – and they know that every introduction from us is a considered one.
We introduce our partners here once each collaboration is formally agreed.
Behind the office
“Family offices don’t need another adviser. They need a peer who has done it – and who still does it with his own money.”
Johann Horch has spent decades in M&A and financial services. As CEO of a WealthTech group he led ten acquisitions, integrating seven brands, ten locations and 300 people across five countries into one platform – through to the exit. Today he invests his own capital and builds the tools and the network that family offices use to do the same.
Contact
Whether you are looking at a deal, preparing an exit or want a second view on your structure: a first conversation is always worth it.
