Does anyone have examples of a searcher's 1-pager or website that they think is particularly good?
My sense is that the most important information for brokers is:
1. Search criteria: geography, industry, size, company characteristics
2. Principal's skills, experience, expertise
3. Financing strategy, plus any other proof you can get the deal done
4. Contact info
Anything else important to convey?
Happy to share my current draft with anyone who wants to see. DM me.

I kept my website simple, but if you're interested here's mine as an example too: https://www.balancecapital.net/
I think it was worthwhile - as it only took me 1 day to spin it up and gives at least 1 proofpoint to brokers that you're taking the search seriously and aren't just a tire kicker
