Hi everyone. I tried to find this answer myself but am having difficulty. Could someone explain the differences between the "Acquire", "Explore", "Inactive", "Raise", and "Search" designations in the Directory under "searchfunds"?
Also, how are these designations determined?
Thanks,
Alan

Explore = I am exploring the search fund concept;

search - I am actively searching for a company to buy

Inactive - my search fund is not active right now.
The info is self-reported by searchers.
