What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

AI has made ‘positioning judgment’ an even more important skill

Granola raised $125M pitching business context capture to VCs, while selling itself to users as a simple notetaking app. Two completely different positioning stories. One product. Heather Baker's latest piece on The AI Edit explores exactly this kind of gap, and why learning to spot it makes you a sharper buyer and a better marketer. The skill is called positioning judgment. It's becoming essential as AI floods every inbox and feed with more content than ever. Read the full piece here: redacted by Adam Ketterer

I’ve seen a lot of AI companies recently “position” themselves as many things sequentially (as they figure out what they are) or many things at once. AI makes this flexible aspect of products more accessible, which is great. The problem is, companies need to be careful not to erode user trust as they modify the model.
