Hello everyone,

I am a self-funded searcher based in Germany, coming from a private equity background. I've launched a free newsletter that’s all about the search fund journey, and I would love for you to join me!

This newsletter is a way for me to document and share my experiences, the challenges I face, and the lessons I learn as I navigate the world of search funds.

What's Inside? Personal Experiences: I'll be sharing my personal experiences, the good and the bad, as I delve into deal sourcing, target outreach, raising capital, and managing a business post-acquisition. It's about the real, unvarnished truth of starting and running a search fund.

Learning Together: Each newsletter aims to provide insights and reflections that are relatable to anyone interested in or currently operating their own search fund. We'll explore market dynamics, effective strategies for transaction structuring, and practical tips for business management.

Free Content for Everyone: Whether you're just curious about search funds or you're deep in the process of running one, I aim for the content to be helpful.

Market Insights: I'll share what I'm learning about market trends and sectors, particularly areas that are seeing a lot of activity in the SF community. Practical Advice: From how to identify potential acquisition targets, and raising capital to ways of structuring deals efficiently and managing acquired companies.

Who Should Subscribe? This newsletter is for:

Aspiring Entrepreneurs: If you're thinking about starting a search fund, this newsletter will give you a glimpse into what the journey involves. Fellow Search Fund Entrepreneurs: I hope my experiences can offer you some useful insights or, at the very least, confirm that we’re all in this challenging journey together. Investors and Academics: Anyone interested in the dynamics of small and medium enterprise acquisitions might find interesting takeaways.

Why Join? My intent is not to preach but to share—to grow and learn alongside you all. The world of search funds is complex and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding, and I believe we can all benefit from sharing our experiences and insights.

If you're interested in following along, and seeing what I discover, what works, and what doesn't, I'd be honored to have you subscribe. Let’s learn from each other’s experiences and support one another in this unique entrepreneurial journey.

Subscribe here and let's explore the nuances of search funds together: https://searchfundinsights.substack.com/subscribe

Best, Yassin

^redacted‌ - I would encourage you to post your newsletter directly on Searchfunder and link to your substack at the bottom of the post. We have several others doing the same and it seems to be the best way to make the post readable on Searchfunder while also driving folks to your substack account (if that's what you're after). Jim Sharpe's blog is a good example of how it can work well.
