Looking to Collaborate With Searchers & Independent Sponsors Expanding Into MENA

Hi everyone, I’m Marina, based in Abu Dhabi/Dubai. I run SyndicateClub, a global deal-by-deal investment group where we’ve invested in early-stage startups across the US, Europe and GCC. We’re now expanding our scope into search funds, small business acquisitions, venture debt, and other private market opportunities — with the goal of democratizing access for our members (professionals, angels, and HNWIs). I’d love to connect with the Searchfunder community because I believe there is strong potential for collaboration between searchers and angel syndicates. I’d really appreciate your help or insights on: 1. How syndicates like ours can best support early searchers (credibility, capital, due diligence, advisory). 2. Searchers or independent sponsors active in MENA who might be open to co-investing or sharing deal flow. 3. Best practices for structuring SPVs for ETA deals (profit-sharing, governance, fees). 4. Typical ticket sizes & expectations when angels participate in search fund deals. If you’re a searcher, operator, or investor in the ETA ecosystem, I’d love to connect and learn from your experience. Thanks so much! Marina
