Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

Cerco.ai - tool built for off-market deal sourcing (free trial available)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to announce a new product I launched called redacted

I am a 2x exited software CEO and co-founder of redacted

During the past 1.5 years, it became apparent to me that there wasn't a tool like Grata/SourceScrub/Inven that met the price point for the Searchfunder community.

Our product has the same large language model based search functionality that allows you to isolate companies with incredible precision. Unlike other platforms, we are building in a native drafting email solution that allows you to create a personalized message with artificial intelligence and then contact business owners at scale.

It is very new and therefore you can join for a 3 day trial. We are eager to get your feedback and also hope the entire searchfunder community benefits from this technology.

Best,
Andrii

Hi ^redacted‌, apologies for the delay. The primary source is the company's website and then we enrich the data with many data sources (with LinkedIn being one of the most important ones). I am happy to explain more over an intro call; we have a lot of features we are in the process of adding as well. People have told us that our company search performance is already better than Inven, Grata, etc.
