What is Searchfunder.com?

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.

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.

Founder-operator here, not a searcher. This is a growth raise. ANUP is multi-tenant compliance-automation SaaS for clean-energy operators. It ingests generation and meter data across 11 OEM monitoring systems, normalizes it into one clean data layer, anchors every record to a cryptographic (Merkle-chain) audit trail, then runs automated PPA invoicing and PJM-GATS REC reporting off that verified data. Built, in production, live today. The point is trust in the data. When compliance filings ride on meter readings, the audit trail has to be tamper-evident, and ours is. This is a mandated market, not a discretionary one. Renewable generators must report, register, and settle their production. It's not optional, and it doesn't slow down in a downturn. Today that work is done by hand, in spreadsheets, across a fragmented market in the earliest innings of software adoption. We automate the obligation itself, which means demand we don't have to create, only capture. Currently pre-commercial revenue: one founding paying tenant plus two non-paying tenants, all in production. That's deliberate. Product risk is behind us, the platform is built and running, and this raise funds the commercial push, not the product. The money goes to proving the thesis in a mandated, regulated industry. Raising $150K on a SAFE that converts at our seed round. Use of funds is go-to-market: key commercial hires, a senior BD leader with deep industry relationships, and presence at RE+, the sector's biggest conference. Structure is negotiable for the right partner. This could be a SAFE, part of a larger seed, or a founder-liquidity conversation. But $150K is the floor to prove the model and earn a proper valuation. Our ideal investor brings more than money: real depth in software, renewables, or regulatory compliance, and the appetite to take a board seat and help steer. I'm looking for a partner who adds vision and judgment, not just capital. This is a 506(c) offering, open to verified accredited investors. Detailed platform specs, financials, and the full memo are available under NDA. Send me your email and I'll get it to you the same day. It's early days, so I'm protecting the pipeline until we're in a real conversation.
