Hi Everyone,

Being new to SearchFunder, I thought I should quickly introduce myself...

Since 2013 I've self funded the search / acquisition of 5 businesses and have exited 2. I dropped in as the CEO for two of these businesses for###-###-#### months each, before managing my own succession, now sitting on boards as a Non-Exec. Without realising it, I have been a searcher / investor for almost 8 years - I'm now keen to learn more about this growing / thriving search community (particularly in Aus / NZ) and help others find good businesses to give them a great future!

Based in Sydney (Aus) I'm keen to support the growing search community here by backing, coaching and mentoring searchers through the whole lifecycle of this exciting model (which is relatively new in this region). I'm also an investor / mentor for start-ups (including Blackbird's Startmate) and have recently co-founded a small building products distribution business.

My LinkedIn profile (www.linkedin.com/in/peteseligman) provides more details regarding my broad background and the skills, experience, style I bring to each challenge. I'm looking forward to engaging with the search community through SearchFunder - please reach out, I'd love to chat!

Cheers
Pete
