Current Mba Student At Nyu Conducting Research On Searchfunds For Class Credit

CURRENT MBA STUDENT AT NYU CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON SEARCHFUNDS FOR CLASS CREDIT

I'm currently an MBA student at NYU Stern and also work as a credit analyst at Moody's Investors Service during the day following business and consumer services companies. My background has primarily been in investment research, with a been towards value oriented investing. Looking to use the MBA to transition towards entrepreneurship through acquisition. 
I am currently planning a Class Credit full term research project that I would like to answer the following questions: 

1. Do certain pre search fund positions, such as consulting or investment banking lead to a more successful search and ultimately a successful or unsuccessful exit for themselves and the investors?

2. If a certain profession leads to a better exit-is it because they were better at picking or because they were better at managing?

If you would be interested in a discussion, please reach out to me at [redacted] 
Best, 
David

^[redacted]‌ - Good luck with your MBA and your research project! There are currently 6,939 members on Searchfunder and the vast majority are current or former Searchers. You can find them under the Directory at the top of this screen, but I would suggest that you narrow your outreach to those that share something in common with you, like one of your alma maters. There are at least five dozen Searchers that went to either Northeastern University or NYU Stern.

If you're really looking to roll up your sleeves, you could consider embedding yourself inside a Searchfund. ^[redacted]‌ is an NYU alum and might be a good connection for you. He was recently looking for remote interns. www.searchfunder.com/intern/viewjob/6.
