Is there an Independent Sponsor Investor List?

Sam created an investor list for self-funded searchers which is super helpful if you are one. I was wondering if there is something similar created for independent sponsors. Has anyone come across a list of active independent sponsor investors?

Hi Avinash. I don't have a list but here are a couple of funds that do independent sponsor deals: • PROX Search Capital • Minds Capital • Entrepreneurial Capital • Fruition Capital • Workbench Capital • Search Fund Ventures

@redacted‌, thanks for the tag. I don't have a consolidated IS-specific investor list to point to. What I'd add: investor type matters as much as the list. Family offices, PE co-investors, and individual accredited investors carry very different expectations around timeline, governance, and carry structure. Before the list, it's worth knowing which category fits your deal architecture, otherwise you're pitching the wrong room.
