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.

Do you conduct due diligence for Property & Casualty (P&C) and Employee Benefits insurance during mergers and acquisitions (M&A)? Additionally, do you have partners who specialize in this area?

Hi ^redacted‌ I focus mostly on the financials and strategy but due diligence on insurance areas is critical. Would be happy to connect to learn about key issues you and your clients deal with. Will send DM.
