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.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

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 to Connect with Brokers

I’m an active self-funded searcher looking to build relationships with brokers who come across acquisition opportunities. I’m focused on businesses with strong fundamentals and growth potential, and would love to connect and discuss how we can work together on deals that may be a good fit. Thanks

^redacted‌ - fellow Atlantan here! Best advice - start reaching out on active deals that are a fit, and use that as a way to get to know existing brokers. Their schedules are FULL and there are a LOT of qualified buyers in today's market (especially in Atlanta), so you could struggle to get conversations without it being related to a relevant deal. Would recommend using Search Assistant (redacted to help streamline your brokered deal sourcing process so you can spend more time engaging with brokers than sorting through listing websites.
