Going Self-Funded: What are the main reasons why?
Interested in learning from the community why more and more searchers are going down the self-funded path!
Thanks,
Greg

I had shadowed a traditional searcher and self funded searcher when I was exploring which path to take. The self funded searcher had far more control over the search process. The traditional searcher was constantly complaining about his investors and said he had identified businesses that would have met his criteria but his investors wouldn't go for it. I realize it's a small sample size but it influenced my decision to focus on self funded.

As you said, a small sample size! It sounds like an issue with the relationship between the searcher and the investor group, not necessarily an indictment of traditional search.
