Can I do part time work while doing search / what can I do to prepare?

by a searcher

May 16,2023

Hey all, 

I am exploring launching a startup concept under a VC studio to help SMBS (Generative AI assistance for growth). Not sure if its going to work out - would this count as relevant experience for a search fund? I am working just part time and its unpaid.

Would I be able to do this simultaneously while pursuing a search? If not, what are some things I can do to set myself up, to succeed launching a search fund in the coming months? And what is a job/role I can take to make income that would be relevant?

Time management is the most difficult part of a part-time search. There is always seems to be an issue at work or in your personal life that requires your full attention. The best method I have found is to have blocks of time set aside in your schedule to devote to your search. You can set aside time to read books/articles, research, collect data, or do a general search on a business broker's website.

My previous boss had the same ideal before but he found it difficult to manage his time
