Translink Corporate Finance in Austria advised the shareholders of SQUER Solutions GmbH (SQUER), a Vienna-based specialist in software modernisation, digital transformation and applied AI, on its partnership with Sophora Unternehmerkapital (Sophora), an independent, owner-managed investment company focused on medium-sized businesses across the DACH region.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Vienna with a second office in Munich, SQUER has established itself as a trusted technology partner for sophisticated software modernisation and digital transformation projects. The company supports leading enterprises across the entire technology stack, from system design and software architecture to legacy modernisation, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, agile transformation, and AI & data engineering.

With more than 100 employees representing over ten nationalities, SQUER serves blue-chip clients across industries including financial services, insurance, retail, mobility and the public sector and has repeatedly been recognised among Austria’s best employers.

The partnership marks the beginning of SQUER’s next growth chapter. Together with Sophora, the company aims to build a leading platform for digital transformation, software modernisation and applied AI in the DACH region through continued organic expansion and targeted add-on acquisitions. In addition, SQUER plans to further strengthen its presence in Germany and Switzerland while expanding its portfolio with Managed AI Services to create recurring revenue streams.

The four founders of SQUER, Manuel Klein, Matthias Kreuzriegler, David Leitner and Lukasz Juszczyk, remain significant shareholders and will continue to lead the business. Sophora will support the management team with strategic expertise, transaction experience and long-term capital to accelerate the company’s ambitious growth plans.

The Translink Corporate Finance Austria advisory team managed the transaction throughout the entire sale process, supporting the shareholders from preparation through to successful signing.
