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.

Established Founder Seeking Debt Working Capital & Traditional Search Fund Roll Up Sponsors

Hello, I am new to this board, and happy to have found it - seems like a great community. First opportunity: I am seeking investors for my company in the social media investigations field. Approaching $1m ARR with very high margins (50% to 70% +). We are 5+ years in, and have some very large enterprise deals secured for 2027 onward that will likely hockey stick growth. Fully bootstrapped so far - seeking debt working capital to support growth requirements and open to a small to medium equity investment (SAFE). We have a strong brand online, unique niche in the market, and I am a very resilient founder. Secondary/Related: I am seeking traditional search fund investors or similar family office/high-net worth individuals to support a non-traditional roll up. I will be seeking small private investigations firms to purchase at low multiples with smaller profits. We will bolt on our social media investigations services and tech enable the companies. Exit will be in 3-4 years. I am looking for traditional search backers who are open to moving faster than traditional PE roll ups. This is a Warren Buffet cigar butt analogy roll up, with tech enabled bolt-on for quick growth. Please connect with me if interested and you are willing to think outside the box. My email is redacted or connect with me on LinkedIn.
