George Wellmer

George Wellmer is the founder of Tupelo, the leading AI platform for small and medium-sized business M&A. Tupelo builds AI-powered tools and virtual deal assistants that automate time-consuming workflows—so brokers, buyers, and advisors can spend more time making deals and less time on admin.

Before Tupelo, George founded Ennerate, a valuation firm that delivered fast, SBA-compliant valuations for lenders and business owners. After exiting in 2022, he turned his focus to transforming the M&A process with intelligent automation.

George’s background spans banking, government, and entrepreneurship—including roles at the U.S. Small Business Administration and leading a roll-up of sunglass manufacturers in Europe.
