Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

What are the benefits of membership?

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 you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

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.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$29 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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 Searcher (Fundraising Stage) Looking for Individual Investors & Advisors

Hi everyone, I am a traditional searcher currently preparing to launch my fund. I have finalized my core fundraising materials (including a full PPM draft) and am shifting my focus toward building my cap table. Based on guidance from veteran search advisors, I am looking to connect with individual investors and former searchers who actively back traditional search funds. I am not explicitly targeting institutional funds at this stage. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR: - Capital Backing: Individuals looking to participate in a traditional search cap table. - Active Mentorship: Backers who enjoy providing feedback and strategic guidance during the fundraising and thesis-development stages. NEXT STEPS: Since this is an anonymous post to protect early-stage outreach, please drop a comment below if you are open to connecting, and I will reach out to your inbox directly from my main profile. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting!
