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.

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.

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

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.

Private Equity in Africa

I am looking to connect with PE firms focused on Africa who might have employment opportunities. Can anyone recommend firms, especially if they are based on the continent. I am not focused on any specific region. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but CRE Venture Capital is a venture firm, I believe based out of NJ, with a focus on investments in Africa.

Hey Randal! And thanks ^redacted‌ . So there are quite a few and as in other markets will depend on what exactly you're looking for (level, industry, ticket size etc). Top of mind, I know Africa50, Adenia, Alterra, are often looking. Generally, if you want to know who is actively recruiting, I would also connect with Maxwell Marshall on LinkedIn as they post almost weekly on relevant opportunities. Would also get in touch with Ossian Plummer at Triage. Happy to connect further
