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.

I’ll solve your business problem with software for free

If your business has a problem that can be solved with custom software — my partner and I will build it for free if it makes or saves you money. The only catch is that we will retain the IP. We each have a decade of experience working in large tech companies and startups (Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, Flexport), and running software companies (current company bootstrapped to $3M ARR, $1.5M EBITDA in 3 years, 1 prior exit). We’re willing to travel within the US to get hands on. If this sounds interesting leave a comment or shoot me a PM 🤙🏽

Two big ones would be an app that would port Quickbooks data directly to Odoo. Also some sort of direct EDI connection from Quickbooks or Odoo to skip SPS and True Commerce. no need for EDI to go through some third party or have such horrendous monthly fees.

Solving a problem for free and getting customers to pay are two different processes. I'll take free engineering help all day but its a very different decision process for buyers to decide they'll pay. Curious how you think about this ^redacted‌
