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.

Seeking IT Services provider

Hi Searchfunders

Seeking an IT Services provider, preferably based in Portland (2 locations) than can also service LA (1 location). The Company is 100% cloud - no servers on site, etc and all MSFT. Services needed will be:
1. Onboarding, offboarding, and availability for remote and on site workstation service (90% of services) 2. Equipment procurement and setup 3. Network maintenance. In each office, we have two pipes with SD WAN to act as an intelligent 'switch' between the two: 1 Gig fiber 300MB coax internet 4. System architecture for office move - (moving into a new office in Portland in '21 and need help setting up the system).

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Jason

There's a couple of ways to slice this. For the most part your higher-end managed service providers (MSPs) that are good for the cloud piece will be overkill for the local grunt work. Unless you get lucky and find an MSP who happens to be growing the same way geographically, you'll generally have the MSP in charge of it all, (with managed services agents loaded on everything), and then if onsite work is needed local providers acting as "remote hands" for the MSP.

If I was a newish born-in-cloud company, I would look at Electric.ai. They have an interesting approach that runs on slack and automates onboarding. Never used them though
