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?

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.

Is there an accredited article or links to find INDUSTRY ANALYSIS for the search fund's search?

Please let me know how I can narrow down my search and look for fragmented and resilient industries in North America.

When you say fragmented but resilient, how are you defining that? Looking for ways to roll up a few acquisitions? Or an industry that is ripe for verticalization?

I feel as if there are tons of industries that one may call fragmented, but it ultimately depends on where the expertise comes from to improve / operationalize / streamline.

Any insights as to your overall theme/investing thesis?
