Hi - I'm little late in posting, but I've been interested in search funds for almost two years. I have private equity experience in business services and e-commerce.
I am open to doing a self-funded search, but ideally I want to connect with a potential partner who has completed and exited one or two deals successfully. Building a strong business relationship is the utmost importance, so that is priority number one! Generally, I'm interested in targets with the following profile:

- Business services (utility, consulting, manufacturing, niche distribution, SaaS)
- 30%+ gross margin
- Skilled and/or retentive employee base
- Sticky customer profile (i.e., government, hospitals, municipalities, etc.)
- Located in either the Carolinas or DMV area
- Not too capital intensive

-$2 million+ SDE

Looking forward to connecting and potentially building something!

Hey Paulos, we’re a small PE fund looking at $1-3M EBITDA deals. The opportunity with us would be to build a relationship over some time and potentially partner with you as the operator on a SMB we buy. If that sounds interesting drop me a line - redacted
