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.

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.

Hi Gus, I came across your CEO search for the California based electrical contracting platform and wanted to introduce myself. My background is in executive talent acquisition and strategic recruiting leadership, with experience supporting complex searches across operations, field leadership, and growth focused environments. Throughout my career, I have partnered with large organizations and brands including Samsung, The Coca Cola Company, and Delta Air Lines, helping drive strategic hiring initiatives and secure high impact talent. What stood out to me about this opportunity is the level of operational sophistication required to successfully lead and scale a trades based platform of this size, particularly balancing new construction execution, leadership infrastructure, and recurring revenue growth initiatives. These types of searches are highly nuanced, and I would love the opportunity to support you and your team in identifying and securing top talent for the role. I specialize in building targeted talent strategies, proactively sourcing strong operators, and helping organizations overcome the challenges that often come with executive hiring in specialized industries. I would welcome the opportunity to connect briefly and learn more about the profile you are targeting and where I may be able to add value to the search. Send me over a message and let's connect.
