I am graduate student at Bocconi University, in Milan (Italy). I'm studying search funds as my final project. I would try to analyze data and come up with statistics about value creation of companies that have been targeted by search funds. Does anyone know how to collect them? Or if there are any, where to find them?

Thank you very much for the comments. I have already deeply studied all the Stanford and IESE reports, they have been my "Bible" for the project analysis. I was currently looking for data of companies financials that have been vested and possibly divested, in order to study how search funds generates value into the companies, which are the main levers principals leverage on, and conduct a study on financial growth related to operational improvement.
Now I'm collecting data by myself on some qualitative aspects with a survey. I would be grateful if you would fill it. This is the link: https://unibocconi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4ZVbp8Z7B5ykr2Z

Thank you

check the stanford primer - it is on this website or you can google "stanford search fund primer" - it will provide you with stats on multiples, exits, failure, etc
