Hello Searchfunder Community,
Your time as a searcher is incredibly valuable, but are you spending it wisely?
Many searchers unknowingly slow their progress by personally handling repetitive, low-impact tasks like:
• Email list-building
• Initial outreach and regular follow-ups
• CRM data entry and updates
• Calendar and schedule management
• Basic market research
Delegating these tasks frees your energy for higher-value activities such as seller interactions and investor discussions.
But the question is, Who Should You Delegate These Tasks To?
• Unpaid Interns
Pro: Cost-effective (often free)
Cons: Limited commitment, heavy training required, inconsistent reliability
• VAs from Freelancing Platforms
Pros: Affordable rates, flexible hiring
Cons: Varying skill levels, high turnover, potential language barriers
• Specialized Virtual Assistant Teams
Pros: Experienced in search-specific tasks, minimal training, structured approach
Cons: Slightly higher hourly rate (offset by efficiency and reliability)
Who have you found most effective to delegate tasks to? Share your experience below!
PS: If you’re considering specialized VA support, my team provides dedicated VAs trained specifically for searchers. Send me an email at redacted and I will send you a Loom video of a quick brief of our work.
