Investing in self-funded searchers

by a searcher from The University of Chicago - Booth School of Business

Hi everyone! My wife and I recently completed a self-funded search acquisition, and have begun investing in other self-funded searchers to help them close the gap between what SBA loans will cover and the total purchase price. 

We'll look at anything, but our ideal profile is: 
- B2B services
- Recurring revenue 
- Low client concentration 

My background is running a 75-person digital marketing agency I founded 8 years ago. I love business and helping small businesses grow. 

Any self-funded searchers out there, I'd love to connect! --@----.com
