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.

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.

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.

Let's Talk About Lead Generation Platforms and Tech Stacks!

Let's start a 2023 lead generation stack post!

We know that lead generation is a crucial aspect of any search fund's success. But with so many lead generation platforms and tech stacks available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one.

Are you using LinkedIn Sales Navigator to find potential targets, or do you prefer industry-specific databases like PitchBook or CB Insights? Maybe you're using a mix of different platforms to get the best results. We're curious to hear about your experiences with these platforms and what you think are the pros and cons of each.

And what about your tech stack? Do you use a CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot to manage your leads, or are you using more specialized tools like LeadIQ or Lusha to gather contact information? What about Zoominfo, or Leadfuze? Let's open up and share what other tools or software you're using to streamline your lead generation process.

Our experience with HubSpot CRM was not so efficient as it has many more funcionalities for our stage of Search making the process and interaction with leads/databease, cumbersome.
