Hi Searchfunder community,
I'm currently in the fundraising phase for a traditional Search Fund focused on acquiring a business in the UK. As I continue to develop my strategy, I’d love to enrich my research and discussions with insights from a broader group of active and ex-searchers.
I’m looking to schedule a few 30-minute 1-on-1 conversations to learn about:
Best practices in investor outreach and securing early commitments
How to build a strong, diversified cap table
Lessons from both self-funded and traditional searchers
Effective strategies for deal sourcing and early-stage due diligence
Navigating the transaction process pre-acquisition
While my search is UK-focused, I’m very open to learning from searchers globally, any experience and insights are truly valuable regardless of geography.
If you’re open to a brief call, I’d greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to reply here or message me directly to set something up.
Thank you in advance!
