What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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.

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.

Is Acquire.com Premium / Platinum worth it?

I've been doing a regional search in BC for about a year now and have really struggled to find solid deal flow. My background is in growth marketing for tech companies, but I wanted to pivot into something more tangible.

That said, with how slow things have been, I’m now considering opening up my search to tech companies again.

So here’s my question: has anyone paid for the Premium or Platinum tiers on Acquire.com? If so, could you share your experience with the quality of deals you’ve seen?

For a couple hundred bucks a year, it’s a drop in the bucket if you’re serious about acquiring a tech or e-commerce company (which is an interesting path on its own). It only takes one.

Yeah it doesn't seem like premium offers anything more than what you already see. There's a lot of undesirable deals to sift through, but it does focus on tech, so might be worthwhile to roll the dice.
