Hi all,
I know that for traditional search you would receive a salary, and 25% of equity across 3 tranches - 1/3 on acquisition, 1/3 over time, 1/3 for hitting pre-defined performance.
However, what if you found a company before raising a traditional fund, what would the search fund entrepreneurs equity (and salary) be if investors funded the entire acquisition. I'm assuming it would be higher than traditional search?
Additionally, are investors willing to invest along-side alternative financing (ie https://www.boopos.com/) that is similar to seller financing but has the first lien position on the assets of the target business?
