Late start?

December 02, 2018

by a searcher in Cedar Park, TX, USA

I have just recently discovered Search Funds, and it seems to be heavily focused on recent MBA grads. Anyone in the community is or know any experienced people who pursued entrepreneurship via a Search Fund?
Thanks!

At the risk of going off topic, I don't think age or stage of career is the issue. For me, the question is whether the person who is considering searching has the right attitude, learning mindset, intelligence and emotional attributes to be successful in a search. If you have the drive and passion to become a CEO through searching, are willing to be mentored (because you know you don’t know it all), can commit to it fully, and all of its ups and downs (including potentially moving to another state or country) then go for it. This is something that my business partner has written about here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/im-only-just-warming-up-akram-sabbagh/
