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 SME in podiatry or orthopedics

Hi There, I'm conducting diligence on a small orthopedic manufacturer whose customers are podiatrists and orthopedists. I've tried in vain to get a podiatrist on the phone to understand the market and product->diagnosis mapping a bit better. Anyone have any contacts they can share? Please DM me! Thank you so much - this community is great.

If you're in due diligence it is not out of the ordinary to contact a few customers. Why not do that? You should, of course, get permission from the seller first.

Thanks Dave! That's a great suggestion and would for sure be a component of post-LOI due diligence. I could see there would be quite a bit of pressure at that point though, seller would be on the phone, etc. I was hoping for a low stakes interview with a prospective client.
