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.

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.

Looking for Ops, Dealflow co-founders for AI Holdco

I'm looking to start a AI Holdco (a new-ish asset class,similar to llmh.com, thriveholdings.com), which buys SMBs in a specific vertical (eg. HOA, Accounting, MSPs), rolls them up and applies AI to improve operating margins and increase the topline revenue of these roll ups and holds them long term. I have deep expertise in AI and have founded 2x in AI and also have more AI folks interested in joining, including ex-palantir people. I'm looking for people who would want to cofound a firm together - Looking for two kinds of expertise: 1) Operations/M&A - handling day-day ops and merging/acquisition of cos that are in the holdco 2) Dealflow/Biz-dev - You can handle finding acquisition targets and dealflow ops The space is very hot for funding right now and a new asset class with lots of alpha and I'd love to chat with interested folks

^redacted‌ I'm doing something similar, although with a slightly different approach. We test the AI hypotheses on individual targets first, and then turn those into rollups depending on the outcomes. Similarly, we also have ex-Palantir people on our team :) Happy to have a chat!
