Investor acquistion strategy in new markets

by a searcher from University of Oxford

Hi everyone

For people raising search funds in new markets (I'm considering lauching in South Africa), did you prioritise international investors who already had experience investing in search funds, or did you try to educate local investors on the search opportunity? How did your engagements go with the different types of investors, and what trends did you notice?

Thanks for the help!

Regards

Hi everyone. Thank you for the responses. Not sure how I missed all the engagement! I will message you all separately.

Hi Modi, Indeed a conundrum. I am happy to connect and unpack some of my experiences with you having raised in SA and internationally.
