Hi everyone,
My name is Chuanlong (Linus), an aspiring search fund entrepreneur based in Shanghai, China. I graduated from the IESE MBA program in 2017 and have 13 years of experience across investment evaluation, operations, and entrepreneurship.
I’m currently in the fundraising phase for a China-focused search fund, targeting resilient, succession-ready businesses in the lower middle market. Over the next decade, an estimated 3 million of China’s 50+ million private SMEs are expected to face succession needs. I believe this presents a compelling opportunity for patient, hands-on ownership — and I’m looking to build long-term partnerships with like-minded investors.
If this resonates, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me here or reach out at redacted
Best regards,
