Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Forti Search Fund Partners (“Forti”), marking a new chapter in our mission to support first-time #CEOs and build thriving businesses through the #SearchFund model.
We pioneered #SearchFunds in Europe, and since 2013, we’ve proudly backed over 100 #searchers and invested in 30+ companies. Now, we’re leveling up.
What sets us apart? We’ve built a platform with even greater #impact. Our core team brings deep Search Fund experience across multiple levels, and 30+ top-tier Search CEOs have committed to Forti - not only as investors, but also as advisors, mentors, and board members. They’re embedded both in the regions where our searchers operate and in the industries where Search Funds #acquire companies.
Simply put, there aren’t many places where you’ll find this much Search Fund expertise under one roof.
Our mission is simple: As search fund #entrepreneurs ourselves, we offer unwavering #support to first-time CEOs on their journeys, staying true to the values that define this unique community.
We’ve brought together a team that includes:
• Tobias Raeber (former CEO of SF acquired business and serial SF investor),
• Vitten Varma (ex-searcher), and
• Viren Lala (Sentinel family office, serial SF investor)
Forti is for searchers, by searchers. And together, we’re ready to build something truly special.
Stay tuned for more!
