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.

Claude Code / Vibe Coding in Search

What parts of the search process are people actually finding success in automating by building tools through Claude Code / vibe coding (particularly those from non-SC backgrounds)? For example, I started learning CC this week and am building web scrapers for business listings that give me updated weekly reports across dozens of broker websites. Pretty simple idea and an easy way to automate something that's otherwise very manual. That's all I've done so far, but I'm starting to think through other ideas. I'm wondering what other manual parts of the search process people are finding success in creating homebrewed software tools for?

I am building a platform that is essentially another site similar to bizbuysell, but AI enabled and led. Scraping for sure, auto emailing leads, lead scoring based on responses, I have started to auto create social posts related to searching, data collection and once we receive diligence docs auto review and first round analysis. Those are a few of the things we are doing, and it seems like daily adding more.
