Does anyone have any experience raising from non-search funds LPs?

Hi everyone, I am from Singapore where the search fund concept is not as well known yet. As such, there arent that many search fund LPs in the market. Unlike the US, we also do not have SBA loans to help finance the acquisition.

In that case, I am wondering if anyone had experience raising capital elsewhere in Asia to fund their search fund? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The deal dictates the investor - we've raised +$50mn from +500 HNWI to acquire digital native businesses, the overheads/process is definitely a lot more cumbersome than handling one or two large investors.

I don't but I'm based in Singapore and have invested in deals previously, although not in Singapore. If you have a deal happy to take a look
