As I build my own website to aid in my search, I would love to see some good examples of searcher websites that can be used to direct sellers, brokers, bankers, etc. throughout the search process.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Max, I was exploring this topic for weeks and concluded that most of the SF websites are pretty the same and you can find the same “why us” table of the comparisons to PE and strategic buyers in all of them as you already saw. On the other hand, this repeated content is there for a reason. My conclusion was to build a website with more clean and tech design (but don't forget you are a PE fund) and combine a self-made content (Medium is a perfect platform). Moreover, the brochure, in my opinion, has a massive impact. More than 50% of your targets will get your introduction emails before they will find you on Google or click on your links in LinkedIn. Based on my experience most of them will open the attached brochure before visiting your web. My web analytics present a surprising fact that 30% visited my web through my Medium post link after reading a personal post so take that into your considerations. In the end, I “wasted” 3 months of working on my marketing materials but after 2 months in the market, I got really impressive feedbacks from my targets so I’m switching the “wasted” to invested. For any additional questions, feel free to reach me out.
