Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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 need help with market research / industry diligence?

Hi everyone - I'm a recent MBA grad from MIT Sloan and co-founder of redacted

Think of us as a disruptor to the GLGs / Alphasights of the world. Our proprietary technology & processes can connect you with advisors in any industry or geography who can help you figure out what really matters. Most consultations take place in the form of a one-off, 1-hour phone call, and we offer flexible options like written Q&A, as well as board placements as well.

We've been around for nearly 2 years, and we've worked with other search funds before (in addition to large investment firms, consulting firms, start-ups and Fortune 500 companies).

redacted is transparent, and our services are flexible - there is no risk in sending a request over and seeing what we can come up with. No commitment / contract is required, and our search process is always free.

Please feel free to reach out directly if you might find DeepBench helpful in your diligence / research process. redacted
