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 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.

Finding Operators to Partner with in Financial & Insurance Services

I’d like to find operators to partner with. Someone to source and execute a deal with me, share meaningfully in economics, and have either CEO or Chair role post-close. Any thoughts on best ways to find people like this? I’m mainly focused on financial & insurance services sectors

I've established ExecCap Advisors redacted to support exactly this strategy. Twice in my career I was an independent sponsor and acquired companies. The first time, I ended up supporting the incumbent executive team as the CFO and the second time, I was the CEO and led the company for 15 years. I would invite you, and anyone else on this chat to connect with me. I can also be reached at redacted my LindkedIn is redacted Best, Jim
