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.

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

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.

Search and being alone can be difficult and lonely sometimes. For partner you'd Imagine you can brainstorm with a partner. Either ways its always not the best to go with a partner. Anyone with single experience can share

Hang in there, Joshua! Those feelings are a natural part of the journey, but they don't last forever. Lean on your family / social network. Speak to your investors frequently. Celebrate small achievements en route to your ultimate goal. Don't hesitate to reach out to other searchers - I'm happy to talk anytime. Good luck!

Many will tell you that entrepreneurship can be a lonely road - but hand in there! And grind hard enough that the juice is worth the squeeze! (p.s. try not to forget to have fun while doing it)
