Introducing ETA IQ – The first CRM & Financial Modeling Platform for Search Funds

Hey everyone! We’re excited to finally launch ETA IQ, a financial modeling platform + CRM designed specifically for Searchers. You can sign up for free here: https://etaiq.com/ We built it from the ground up, inspired by the headaches we ran into during our own Search Fund process. If you don’t want to read and prefer a quick video, we get it... here’s our 2-min intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCUhIvTImYQ [1] CRM Built for Searchers: Start tracking deals and contacts immediately with an out-of-the-box CRM. No setup, no configurations. Easily organize key deal info and metrics to stay on top of your progress. [2] Interactive Financial Model: Need to see if a deal pencils out, or a full cash flow model? The platform is simple for quick checks but powerful enough to handle complex structures, detailed projections, and investor terms/distributions. It will provide you with a comprehensive, error-free model for your own analysis and to share with lenders or equity investors. [3] In-Product Education: Not sure about an accounting concept or SBA guideline? Every term and calculation is clickable. Our built-in definitions, explanations, and videos are designed to make everything easy to understand, even if you’re just starting out. Why did we build ETA IQ? We ran into a lot of the same challenges most Searchers face—overcomplicated CRMs, messy spreadsheets, and hours spent trying to figure out equity terms, SBA guidelines, and accounting concepts. It was a grind. So we decided to build a tool we wish we had, that makes the Search process easier, faster, and less stressful. We’ve spent over a year developing ETA IQ, and we’re excited to finally share it with the SearchFunder community. Let us know what you think. We can’t wait to hear your feedback!
