Using accelerators and organizations who provide direct assistance to searchers has its pros and cons, but searchers would likely benefit from a one-stop list of accelerators and groups who provide hands-on assistance to searchers working through the search and acquisition process (and possibly operating and exiting also). There are a few scattered posts on searchfunder.com that mention accelerators and reference a well written article by Jake Nicholson on the SMEVentures site, but the information is thin. A few entities that I have found include the fairly well known Search Fund Accelerator, Endurance Search Partners, NextGen Growth Partners, Pacific Lake Partners, and Broadtree Partners. Please comment below to add to this short list. I'm sure there are more out there.

Tagging ^redacted‌ and ^redactedof Second Squared; ^redacted‌ of BETA-i; ^redacted‌ and ^redacted‌ for Search Investment Group; and ^redacted‌ and ^redacted‌ of Novastone.; ^redacted‌ of Japan Search Fund Accelerator; ^redacted‌'s Acquisition Lab. This is a really good question. The more I think, the more names I come up with.

The best list I've found is by ^redacted‌ of SME Ventures: https://www.smeventures.com/insights/a-comprehensive-guide-of-search-fund-accelerators. You'll find him and dozens of other useful links on my Helpful Resources: page: https://entrepreneur.pipeline-prep.com/resources.
