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 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.

Search experience in logistics (e.g. last mile, cross-border, warehousing)

Anyone has experience searching for deals in the logistics industry? My past experience is working for a tech-enabled company growing in the e-commerce delivery space. Would be great to jump on a call with anyone who searched for a target in the broader logistics market.

Adnan, Our main focus is purchase order financing and about 85% of our portfolio consists of importers. We have considered expanding into the logistics market because so much of what we do involves managing those processes with our clients anyways. Being in control over logistics would certainly reduce some friction in our process and give us a better hold of the collateral we are funding. Happy to chat through this if you'd like.

Adnan, I invested about 3 years ago in a last mile logistics tech company start up (i.e. like an uber platform for last mile delivery in Australia). Specifically focused on providing a last mile fulfillment option for national retail chains (including supermarket chains, pharmacies etc) and also an api integration platform for smaller retailers wanting to provide under 2-hour delivery options in their local area. I was on the Board for a short time during a transition phase. It's now all steam ahead as the whole Covid thing has helped to transform how Aussies shop and are now more open to home delivery. Have seen an interesting move to the on-line platform play in Australia in this space.
