Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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 you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$29 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

Exploring ETA Space and Would Love to Connect

Hello Search Funder Community, I'm Asaf, currently living in Brooklyn NYC. Ever since I learned about the ETA space, I become passionate and excited to explore this as an alternative way to generate wealth and have meaningful career path. As I’m warping up my MBA at NYU Stern, I think it is the right moment to look closer on ETA as a solo, self-funded searcher. My background is Strategy & Ops @ Public Fintech company, where I spent the last 6+ years working with financial institutions and different teams across the company to plan and execute company’s Money Movement strategy. I have a wide expertise in data analysis, strategy planing and operational processes optimization. In terms of target industries, I’m agnostic, but leaning into HVAC, which I know is a hot industry now. I’m here to learn and connect. If you are searching in HVAC or are a fellow NYC-based searcher, I would love to learn more about your experience. I’m looking forward to connecting. Asaf
