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.

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.

Seeking early stage growth investors: CPG opportunity

I am excited to share a compelling investment opportunity with CPG breath mint brand Zelmin's (redacted). This company is growing rapidly at a 120% CAGR and on track to achieve $1.3M in DTC sales this year and projected Omnichannel sales $17M by 2027.

Progress report:

* Zelmin's is launching into Big Y & Wegmans brick & mortar stores in Q1 2025
* Secured a strategic partnership with Raindrop Ventures, who has helped scale other leading CPG brands such as Dr Squatch, Native and Manscaped
* In discussions with CVS and Walmart

They are led by an incredibly talented family-owned-team with a proven track record in the CPG space who previously grew another mint brand to $250M in sales. They are seeking a $5M non-control equity raise.

Please email me with any interest or questions, redacted

Thank you.
