Hi, everyone - We're making a general call out to the search fund community to help us with crowdsourcing data on search funds, especially for 2018.  Above is the information we have so far for formations.  Please check your Searchfunder member for accuracy and update it as needed.  If you're aware of someone else'sSearchfunder memberthat's not listed, please direct message me through search funder.  We'll update the charts on Friday, Feb 1st.   Thanks everyone! ~ Karen
