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.

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

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.

Traditional Search Fund in Turkey

Hello everyone,

I have decided to raise a traditional search fund that focuses on opportunities in Turkey and wanted to ask the community for help identifying investors who may be interested.

I have grown an SME in Turkey as its CEO and minority shareholder and successfully exited that business two years ago by selling my shares back to the owner-family. I would like to repeat this now through a traditional search fund model.

Like in my previous experience, I know that export-oriented SMEs in Turkey with revenues in EUR/USDs are immune to currency and inflation risks and, therefore, have a lot to offer to search fund investors.

I am already in touch with some of the investors that invest globally but I would appreciate additional funds/individuals who may be interested in this opportunity.

Thank you
