Verdira Acquisitions Fellowship (Equity Opportunity – Fall 2025)

No Mergers. No Flips. Just Acquisitions. Why We Built This A few weeks ago, we posted a paid job opportunity here on Searchfunder and within days, we were flooded with interest. - Over 600 applicants. - Ex-investment bankers. - Startup operators. - Ivy League students. - Finance grads from all over the world. We quickly realized this needed to be more than just an entry level paid job ad. So we pulled the listing, paused everything, and rebuilt the program from the ground up. Verdira is now launching one of the most execution-focused, operator-track fellowships in the ETA space, designed for students and recent grads who want real deal reps, not just financial theory. This is a 12-week sprint through seller sourcing, CRM tracking, capital structuring, and junior-level acquisition execution. Interns don’t shadow. They operate. And if a seller you source gets acquired? - You earn up to 3% non-voting equity in that business. Verdira is a self-funded HoldCo backed by private lenders and strategic capital partners. We’re actively pursuing deals and currently under LOI w/ BTS signed for our first healthcare acquisition. Capital is not the bottleneck, we’re scaling the sourcing engine. Why This Opportunity is Different - Too Many Sellers, Not Enough Buyers: Millions of small businesses are for sale, but only a fraction get acquired. This creates massive deal flow and an edge for buyers who know how to operate. - Equity in Deals: If Verdira successfully acquires a business you sourced, you earn up to 3% non-voting equity in that company. What You’ll Be Doing - Source real sellers of $1M–$10M revenue businesses - Execute outreach via email, LinkedIn, and phone - Manage seller conversations and updates inside our CRM - Analyze business models, seller psychology, and acquisition fit - Write deal briefs, internal updates, and pre-LOI notes - Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to speed up research and execution - Support active acquisition efforts moving toward legal documentation - (If eligible) Simulate capital stack strategy and post-close ops planning ? Who This Is For - Students or recent grads who want to break into acquisitions or ETA - Interns who thrive in lean, async, fast-moving environments - Clear communicators who follow through and think independently - Builders—not brand-chasers ❌ Who This Is NOT For -Resume padders looking for a name-brand logo - People afraid of cold outreach or seller conversations - Anyone who can’t commit ~25hours/week remotely Logistics Start Date: Early October 2025 Commitment: 25 hours/week, remote Compensation: Unpaid with performance-based equity upside Location: Fully remote Application Instructions 1.
