Hi Search Fund Community

I am working on various interviews to figure out the searcher CEO severance packages. I am hearing a very wide range from $0 to 1 year worth of serverance.

Any investors and searchers willing to speak up? Please DM me and I can share my data as well. All info will remain anonymous.

Thanks,

Kevin

Rarely do I see the searcher in a traditional search or self funded with a severance in her/his package. I find that many times the board and investors negotiate a 3 month severance to assist both the retiring CEO and the company.

It would seem like perverse incentive in some ways. I would think most would give the searcher endless ways to solve whatever the cause is for termination, such that if you are really being fired, it is for cause.
