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.

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.

Insights on Pursuant Capital Bootcamp

Hi -

Has any one in the SearchFunder community been through the Pursuant Capital Bootcamp? Would love to hear your experience as I consider joining the bootcamp in September in Florida.

As a self funded searcher, The cost is the determining factor for me as I decide on pursuing the bootcamp. I am currently actively searching for a business to acquire and looking primarily for a community of searchers/operators in the self-funded world.

In my MBA program at INSEAD, I did a few internships with Traditional Search Funds and Investors so understand the high level process but looking more for a community of self-funded searchers.

Appreciate the insights. Thanks!

Thanks Monique for the insights! Completely agree with the filter concern of the deal cost in self funded search. Having the ability or not to stomach 1-2 failed deal costs ultimately should be a key factor in determining whether to go for a self-funded vs traditional search.
