8 calls in 24 hours.
All from Searchfunder members scrambling to line up financing with a closing deadline breathing down their neck.
I've spent years building relationships with lenders who specialize in ETA deals, including several who are active members of this forum. There's a real gap right now between great opportunities and capital sources who actually move at searcher speed.
I'm here to help bridge it.
You've probably seen my posts. You've noticed I don't pitch. I don't ask. I show up to give — share what I know, make introductions, and help searchers any way I can.
If you're stuck on the capital side, reach out. I'll connect you with the right lender — no strings attached.
To point you in the right direction fast, here's what I need:
→ Industry
→ Location (USA only — my network is U.S.-based)
→ Deal size (enterprise value)
→ Capital needed + structure (debt, equity, or mix)
→ Revenue, EBITDA, margins
→ Red flags: concentration, declining trends, asset-light
→ First platform or bolt-on?
→ Do you already own a company?
→ Timeline or hard close date
The more you give me upfront, the faster I can match you with groups who actually understand ETA and won't waste your time.
Financing shouldn't be the reason a solid deal dies.
