We're working hard to grow the Searchfunder community in MENA. Please take a moment to introduce yourself below. Some questions to consider answering: Where are you based? What is your background? What's your buy box? Have you acquired yet? Where do you need the most help right now? Where can you provide help to others? Anything else on your mind? We'll be able to have much deeper discussions if you can provide as much detail as possible. A paragraph or two is perfect. Be sure to tag (@) when replying to comments to make sure your sub-comments are read.

Happy to jump in first! Adam Giansiracusa, based in Dubai here. Ex-consultant and Chief of Staff at a Saudi-owned investment group. I'm a traditional search fund, so looking for transactions in the $1M-$5M EBITDA range, sector agnostic. We haven't closed (though got very close a few months ago), so back to the hunt!

My partner and I are in the process of raising for a traditional search fund in Saudi Arabia. Focus will be 50% opportunistic, 50% targeting dental and derma. Previously worked in M&A and PE across South Africa, London, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
