I'm interested in connecting with traditional searchers who are geography focused and have fundraised within the last 1-2 years. I have a few questions on how you're strategy has pivoted now that you're searching, if targeting virtual companies was effective, and whether you considered raising a partial search fund or 100% self-funding (while still partnering with Traditional investors).

I'm doing a geographic focused search in Virginia. I am self funding, though I've looked at fundraising. I am also looking at virtual opportunities, mostly focused on eCommerce, virtual services. If that sounds helpful, feel free to DM me. Happy to connect.

I raised a traditional search fund with a geographic focus in 2023, and just closed on an acquisition. If it would still be helpful, I'm happy to share about the experience and how I found the geo-focused strategy to play out.
