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 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.

Does anyone have experience owning, running or researching in the print ...

Anyone with experience in the print or direct mail industry and willing to discuss certain things to look for when evaluating a company? Specifically focused on medium to large printers with both offset and digital printing capabilities and also the know how to run complicated direct mail programs.

I know there is a massive paper shortage at the moment but also curious about what else I need to be aware of.

Appreciate any help in advance.

Thanks

Evan-

I spent 6 years running a fairly large print broker operation. We mostly sold offset web printing to catalogers. Happy to chat, DM me if you want to schedule a call.
