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

Annual

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.

I'm Available > CEO | PE Operator | Franchise & Services Platform Builder | Interim Leader | Consultant

Investors & Searchers — Exec available right now and looking to help I’m a private equity–backed CEO and operator with a track record of scaling, turning around, and exiting multi-unit service businesses across healthcare, wellness, home services, facility services, retail, and franchise systems. I’ve led organizations from $50M to $500M+ in revenue, serving as CEO, COO, CRO, CSO and founder across eight franchise systems, five healthcare companies, business and home services, and multi-unit retail wellness and beauty. My experience spans growth acceleration, distressed turnarounds, M&A integration, pre-acquisition diligence, and post-close fast-start execution. Selected Impact: • CEO, PCRK Group (131-unit Massage Envy platform): Drove turnaround, $5M + recurring revenue, +72% close rate improvement, -20% attrition, and integrated an acquisition of 36 locations. • Best Life Brands (5 healthcare/home service brands): 5X franchise sales growth, 5X Ebitda growth in 3.5 years, drove same store sales growth from .5% to 37%, created, launched and scaled a national home healthcare franchise company from scratch. • Coverall: Turnaround around this distressed company; 4X increase in average monthly b2b sales consultant new revenue generated, and achieved 3.5x cash on cash return for PE. • Sears Home Improvement: $22M annual EBITDA improvement. What I Do Well for Investors: • Post-acquisition velocity — Move assets beyond founder-era systems with a bias toward urgency, action and clear decision rights. • Sales ownership — Build accountable, metrics-driven revenue engines. • Platform building (organic + M&A) — Scale $20–100M service businesses into acquisition-ready platforms. • Board-ready leadership — High independence, full accountability, clear capital efficiency focus. I operate with urgency, ownership, and transparency. I’m comfortable stepping into complexity, challenging norms, and aligning teams quickly around value creation. Open to: • CEO roles (platform or add-on) • Operating Partner engagements • Interim CEO / CRO / COO / CSO roles • Consulting engagements tied to growth acceleration, GTM buildout, diligence, sales excellence, operational execution or acquisition integration. If you’re acquiring, scaling, or repositioning a service, healthcare, franchise, or multi-unit business — I’d welcome a conversation.

Daniel, I picked 9:45 Monday as a placeholder for our meeting and send you an invitation that I can easily move as needed. Additionally, I am in Scottsdale as well and would be happy to meet in person if you'd like. I'll send my resume in a separate email. Thanks for reaching out.
