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 ETA Equity Partners for Southern California Acquisition

I’m Brian, based in Carlsbad/San Diego. I’ve spent 20+ years in senior product, GTM, business development and P&L roles across companies including Cisco, EMC, F5, Forcepoint and Nozomi Networks, and I’m now pursuing entrepreneurship through acquisition. I’m currently evaluating a specific Southern California service business with approximately $2.7M in revenue and $750K+ of seller-reported EBITDA, at an asking price below $2M. The business has an established team and management in place, and the seller is willing to participate in the financing. I’m pursuing this as a self-funded search / independent sponsor and am looking to connect with investors who participate in deal-by-deal ETA acquisitions, particularly those comfortable with $250K–$750K+ equity checks. I have a blind teaser available and would be happy to share it privately. I’d also welcome connections with other Southern California searchers and operators who have structured similar acquisitions. Looking forward to getting to know the community.
