Hi SF Community,

I’m grateful to be part of such a knowledgeable and supportive group! I’m currently in the process of raising a traditional search fund in the UK and would greatly appreciate some advice.

Specifically, I’m looking to connect with individuals who have raised a traditional search fund within the past year to discuss some tactical fundraising questions. If you’re open to sharing your experiences, I’d love to hear from you.

A bit about me: I work in Corporate Development with a focus on deals in the Rail, Highways, and Consulting industries. Previously, I held roles in sell-side M&A and in-house M&A within the insurance sector. I’m also pursuing a part-time MBA, which I thought would align well with starting my search journey.

Thank you in advance for any guidance or insights you can provide!

Hi Haden,
I raised my SF almost 2 years ago so my experience may not be relevant but feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to have a chat. My email is redacted

I searched and acquired in the US, haven't (yet) done so in the UK. However, happy to share my experience searching/operating/selling if it's helpful (I'm currently living in London).
