I'd be surprised if a large institutional investor backed a search fund because its likely far too small a check to make sense, but I could see partners making a personal investment if you have an existing relationship. For what it's worth, I raised with the idea that you can "sell" someone on either you or the search fund model, but not both. Therefore, I focused on traditional search fund investors (who didn't yet know me) and people from my personal network (who didn't yet know the model).
