Former searcher, turned investor: Looking for searchers or a fund of funds

Hi All,

A few years back, I started a self-funded search fund. Raised equity, got banks on board, put together a team and built a board of directors, but did not go through with a deal. I may well take a second shot at this in the next few years.

Meanwhile, I'd like to invest in other people's search funds. My background is in data analytics, data-driven digital marketing, and executive management. I may be interested in taking an active role in an acquisition, if the deal were the right fit. Otherwise, I'm happy as a silent investor.

I'm looking for motivated, conscientious, experienced searchers to back. Ideally as one of several equity investors. I'm more amenable to providing a component of the equity injection required for self funded searchers looking to close deals in the $3m-$7m EPV range - and less interested in providing capital to fund the search itself. Alternatively, I'd be very interested in providing capital to a 'fund of funds' with the right investment thesis.

Please feel free to reach out if you think there may be something for us to discuss.

Best,
-Marshall
