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

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.

I can help with your search (nothing to sell you)

I'm an MBA candidate and aspiring searcher - before launching my own fund after graduation I’d like to get hands-on experience inside a live search. I'm a long time lurker and I've got an extensive list of strategies and outreach scripts I'd love to put to the test - I work full time as a business development representative in consulting (so outbound is literally my day job) and I can help with: - Hands-on execution of multi-channel owner outreach - A set of sourcing strategies I've been developing that I would like to test against a real industry thesis - Disciplined use of AI automation for personalization at scale - Other admin and due diligence work as needed The best fit is a full-time searcher with a defined thesis looking for more deal flow at the top of the funnel. If that sounds like you, PM me to see if we align :)

Hi @redacted‌ would love to connect; I'm a full time searcher with a past in mgmt. consulting & tech sales, so certainly some mutual overlap to collab on. I'll DM you to coordinate.
