For those who have raised or backed search funds: how realistic is it for a recent college grad to launch a search fund immediately after school? What are the biggest credibility gaps (limited full-time experience, deal experience, operating experience, network), and how have you seen younger searchers overcome them? Curious to get perspectives from both investors and searchers: From your perspective: • What are the biggest gaps (deal experience, operating experience, network)? • What would need to be true for you to back someone that early? • What’s the most realistic path to get there?
