What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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 you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

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.

Owner-CEO Roles (Equity 40%+)

Hey Searchers, DealTeam is working with a few clients who are searching for Owner-CEOs to run businesses. You the searcher help diligence the business with the sponsor, run it on day 1 as CEO, and gain an significant ownership stake in the company. Benefit of this - they find the deal, have the capital, assist with post close operations, but you run the business. If this is of interest to you, connect with me on LinkedIn and/or fill out your information via this link redacted Here is a example of a search we are conducting now: $1.7M SDE Crane & Oilfield Services | Montana - 40% margins - poor digital presence (i.e. website) - no sales team / CRM (done by founder) - current customer base is oil & gas, but new ownership will expand services to municipal, construction, wind turbines, structural steel, and civil projects - Well collateralized with crane assets

Interesting concept. Think I heard an Acquiring Minds podcast on this. Though do not think they offered equity. Who signs the PG:)
