In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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.

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.

I’m not taking quantum computing into account much if at all. True quantum computing isn’t accessible to most people or businesses. It’s really a research-heavy field still where costs are just not maintainable by businesses in the lower middle market. What’s accessible to them is more high performance computing that looks like quantum but isn’t quite there. Where I do take it into account is future cyber security risk. If and when quantum becomes accessible, and even with the quantum-light computing that could be accessible soon, a flood of cyber risks open up if tech-enabled businesses don’t update their security posture.

I have been watching quantum develop over the years and am amazed at how it is progressing and all the different applications. You may not see it in retail consumer use like AI is now, but behind the scenes its making in roads in a large number of industries. For now I am following the progress at places like U of Maryland, et al. I build an AI agent to provide a monthly snapshot of recent news, etc.
