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.

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.

Anyone going to Harvard ETA conference Oct 28th or been to past events

As mentioned above, is anyone going to this event this year or have been in the past. I am wondering what to expect from this event from networking perspective and if its worth the trip from NY to Boston.

It's a great event-- if they're not sold out already, they're nearly to 600 total tickets sold. Lots of folks in the ETA world go there, so the networking is solid. It's a pretty broadly focused conference; you won't hear anything specific to an industry there. But it is helpful for wrapping your mind around the ETA world, meeting some of the folks in it, and learning some things that are pretty universally applicable to general business. For a taste of some of the takeaways, I made a writeup from my time there last year: redacted.
