I'm looking for a few examples of the introductory one pagers other searchers have used to help with introductions to investors and business owners.  If anyone is willing to share I would appreciate it.

A few things I've learned about one-pagers, for what it's worth to you:

- If you are searching opportunistically across sectors/structures, I would suggest having multiple versions of your one-pager. For example, we have one for a roll-up sector-specific strategy and another for our broad search.
- If your main audience will be business owners, keep your message straight to the point and portray a sense of grassroots pride in operating their business. I find this resonates better than

folks also call these "teasers" if they are deal specific, that will probably help you find some publicly available info. "investment bank teasers" "private equity teasers" would probably give you a wealth of material via your favorite search engine

Hey Link. Less so for investors and more so for brokers/intermediaries, no?

searcher - 10/26/2020

I think so. I just know I printed a bunch of these a while ago and haven't used as many as I thought. Originally, I saw them being helpful to include with direct out reach to business owners as part of a proprietary search.

I ended up with two fundementally different versions: investor & target. lots of similar content but focuing more heavily on my experience & search profile for investor and more reassuring I'm the right person to talk to on the target side.
