Update 1/30: Working through the 20+ folks that have reached out and will follow up with everyone by end of week.

Following the wisdom of a number of other searchers in the community, myself and a fellow self-funded searcher are putting together a small group of 5-10 self funded searchers to serve as peer-to-peer mentoring group throughout our respective journeys. We will likely target meeting at least bi-weekly virtually and are looking for a few additional searchers with the following criteria:

-Self-funded
-Fully committed to acquiring/operating a business ASAP and have taken concrete steps towards such
-Eager to both support others as well as leverage the group for support
-Searching anywhere outside of Nashville or the DC/NY area (goal to get some geographical diversity)

Shoot me a DM with a bit about you, your search, and your interest if it sounds like you would be a good fit and we can go from there!

Thanks to everyone that reached out! We had a ton of interest and did our best to piece together a group with diverse search criteria. For those that we weren't able to include, I recommend checking out Yaswanth Reddy's post as he is spinning up another group. Wishing everyone the best in their journey's and feel free to reach out if I can be of help in any way!

If you are open, I can offer my expertise on the SBA funding side. I specialize in the SBA 7a program. If SBA is part of your capital stack, I can add value from that perspective.
