Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

General Introduction to Capital z

Hi Searchfunder Community, greetings from Singapore.

My name is Zachary (redacted), and together with my partner Eric Koh (redacted), we are creating a self-funded search company with a mission to preserve the life-long legacy of Southeast Asian SME owners.

Eric and I are very new to search fund - I come from a VC/Entreprenuer/Operator background while Eric is a hardcore venture-backed startup serial COO. We have done some readings and spoke with a few resources.

As one of the next steps, I would love to speak with a few investors who are keen to look at Southeast Asia to validate some of our assumptions and workings. Please hit me up if Southeast Asia is a region of interest where you would be keen to invest in small private companies without the burden of operating it.

I look forward to chattig and meeting you. Thank you!

Have you approached Scott Lee or Ambit Partners? Scott has invested in another Singapore based search fund and Ambit Partners is a South Africa based Fund with exposures to niche markets (in search fund terms)
