Hi all - in NY but from Melbourne and keen to learn more about the search scene back home. [redacted]

Hi Lee, the community here is small but growing fast. Great to see people are getting interested.

Hi Lee, I have no idea whether there is a Search Fund community in Australia. Do you know how many SF are active in Australia?

Hi Dr. Thomas, here is a small community. Mainly are self-funded searches. The first traditional SF was raised last year.

Hi guys, I am based in HK but from Sydney and have been doing some searches in Australia recently. Happy to trade notes on sourcing and financing.

Hi Lee, I am based in Melbourne and considering at this stage to launch a traditional Search Fund with a partner. Happy to stay in touch and if you are down here we can catch up for a coffee

Hi all, it looks like there is a bit of interest, so I thought I might set up a bit of a group meetup in Sydney over the coming month (early march potentially). If you're interested please flick me through an email at [redacted] and we can communicate there.

Hi, I live in Sydney but have yet to officially start my search; I'm about[redacted]months away from my search fund launch but certainly keen to get involved in the local search ecosystem as part of my pre-launch research/ networking efforts.

Hi, FYI. ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌,

Hey ^[redacted]‌, FYI.

Hi All,
Here is the current state of play in Australia.
Over the past two years, there have been three self-funded searchers complete their acquisitions and one of those resulting in an exit. They are ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌ and ^[redacted]‌ (in partnership with Andy T).
Currently, there is one traditional (funded) search as well as three self-funded searchers (two are partnerships) active in Australia. They are ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌ & ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌ & ^[redacted]‌, and ^[redacted]‌.
It is likely we will see a further 6-8 searching in Australian in addition to the above (a mix of funded self-funded) in the next 12 months. The closest to raise would be ^[redacted]‌ and ^[redacted]‌.
Many of these are doing their research of preparing to raise their funds now.
Email on [redacted] if you want to know more?
