What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals.

You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

One thing I keep seeing in the search community: people defaulting to the same 5-10 industries and ignoring dozens of underserved niches. So I built a free AI tool to surface personalized industry ideas (with estimated company counts), including some “hidden gem” sectors that don’t appear on the usual lists. redacted It’s just a side project I’m tinkering with, so if you try it, I’d love to hear what worked (or didn’t) so I can keep improving it.

Just filled out survey. I could see self funded searchers using this to assist with outreach bandwidth but that fee is pricey just for matchmaking and basic outreach/qualification. Lehman was using that formula for full M&A advisory.
