Support for doctoral thesis: Contacts/lists of searchfunds, investors, etc.

Dear Searchfunder community

Besides being an active part of the SF/EtA space, I am currently starting with my doctoral thesis on "entrepreneurship through acquisition", I am planning to start with a survey to different players in the ecosystem to get a better understanding of the status quo and current trends.

Do you have any recommendations for lists/contacts of searchfunds, self-funded searchers, accelerators, investors, etc.? Or do you have any recommendation of an SF/EtA expert that I should speak with?

The geographic scope would be global with focus on Europe. Of course, the searchfunder database is a great start to leverage. I just want to make sure that I capture the biggest possible share of the market.

Thanks a lot and best regards
Benedict
