Actively Investing in Self-Funded Search Deals — Launch of ETA Funding Partners

Hi Everyone,
Excited to share that we’ve officially launched and are now investing out of ETA Funding Partners Fund I, a fund dedicated exclusively to backing self-funded searchers who need equity capital to close acquisitions.
With the recent SBA rule changes, seller financing is no longer a viable source of the required 10% equity injection on many deals. That’s where we come in. ETA Funding Partners is built to fill that gap—with fast, flexible, and searcher-friendly capital.
We’re actively deploying checks in the $200K–$400K range (with flexibility to go higher or lower) and aim to make 10–15 investments over the next year.
We’re most interested in backing deals with:
• $750K+ EBITDA
• Recurring or contract-based revenue
• Strong fundamentals in B2B services, home services, distribution, or light manufacturing
If you’re a self-funded searcher under LOI or closing in on a deal, we’d love to connect.
