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 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.

Looking for Feedback on Buy Side Advisors in the Tri-State

Hi Everyone -

It would be great to hear any recommendations or feedback on experiences working with buy-side advisors who you've retained to source deal flow. My focus is on the tri-state area with a particular focus on the northern half of NJ. I've looked at some outstanding businesses through sell-side brokers that were just a bit too far from home for my first deal, so am looking for an accelerant for my geographically strict search.

Thanks very much!

Mark

Learn the best practices before you begin searching, and definitely before you outsourced to anybody for anything. If you don't know what should be done the right way how could you evaluate anybody who pitches you?
