Hello,
Would love to talk with anyone who has had experience searching and then starting a business in the sector/industry they gained most experience in. We currently run a traditional search, and have gained valuable experience and network in the healthcare services space in Mexico.

Any insights into making the transition, fundraising from search investors and how to best structure the economics would be greatly appreciated from the community!

Best,

I haven't personally searched and started a company thereafter - but working in VC over the past three years - I saw many companies we've invested in (over 80+ portfolio companies) and how their owners built their thesis around it. I can elaborate more if needed, feel free to DM me.

Santiago, my personal experience is that is exponentially easier to buy revenue than start from 0.
