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.

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.

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.

Forums for operators

Hi - I was wondering if there are any groups or forums for operators similar to searchfunder?

I have some pretty basic questions on modernizing a 40 year old business. Not sure what’s the best forum to ask these questions. One that comes to mind -

- are desktops still of any use in an office setup? Or does it make sense to do away with them and switch to laptops with cloud storage? Anything I’m missing?

Laptops are in. I'm not an IT guru but I haven't seen a true desktop at any business I've worked with over the last several years.

My team recently worked to modernize a 40+ year business as well, PM me if you'd like some more details or just want to brainstorm, I'm happy to help.
