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

$79 / 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.

Full-Time Self-Funded searcher looking to join small group for weekly/monthly syncs

Hi all! I'm not currently a part of any paid communities and looking to connect on a consistent basis with some other active searchers (ideally self-funded) to share progress, stories, and accountability. Briefly about me: - Located just outside Portland, OR conducting mostly a geographic search** - Just started full-time search after a travel sabbatical w/ wife - 12 years prior early to late and public SaaS experience with progressive leadership - Love entrepreneur biographies and sports (Blazers/Timbers/USA) - Long time Toastmaster and marathoner Looking for either: 1) Already committed group (mostly searchers and/or some folks who have aquired and operating) and would be open to me joining :-) 2) Are full-time committed and want to start one (location not a big deal as I'm connecting with some folks locally in my region as well) If your group is particular you can ping me directly and I'm happy to do a screening call

I have a small WhatsApp group with some searchers in it, for now, they aren't much activity to be honest despite being a group having active searchers. But if you do share something, you get a response from other searchers for sure. redacted You can join the group from the above link.

I am in Vancouver, WA as well. Would be happy to meet up! I am not a full-time searcher but I am actively looking. My job offers networking that I have found helpful.
