Just joined the community and I am evaluating, studying the search fund model to acquire a company in Brazil. I am open to connect with funds / investors and searchers to discuss / exchange ideas.

We actually spent a considerable amount of time searching the Brazil market and found lots of great opportunities. The main issue we had was around valuation of what it was worth. The technology scene specifically still hasn’t matured to have had enough exits and expectations are still too high (most expected 10x+ EBITDA), even comparing to what we can acquire in North America. You may have better luck in other markers and industries but we’ve shelved Brazil as an option for now.
