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.

CNC / Precision Component Manufacturing Deal Experience

Our team is actively exploring a roll-up strategy in the CNC and precision component manufacturing space. We're in the commercial diligence phase and are keen to connect with other investors / operators who have experience in this sector. Specifically, we're looking to better understand: 1) Market Fragmentation 2) Roll-Up Feasibility & Synergies 3) Current degree of PE involvement We believe there's a strong long-term play in this sector, and any insights or direct experience you can share would be incredibly valuable. Feel free to comment directly or send a private message if you are interested in chatting!

I sold my food machinery business in 2024, we had a full CNC Machine shop with Haas and Mazak mills and lathes, Trumpf laser/press brakes and many other capital machines. Happy to offer insight if you'd like to discuss.

talked to a few PE shops acquiring machine shops. the whole machine shop sector grows slower than US GDP, so you have headwind there. if you expect 5% growth in your financial modeling, better have some innovative plans.
