Has anyone explored the posibility of building a search fund like vehicle, but with a permanent equity capital base?
Does anybody know any examples of this? How would you try to do it?
I'd love to know your thoughts!

GAN has some decent (though maybe aged) studies and papers on this and the portfolio approach.

We have taken an target first and then raise approach to date. Next time we may try to raise capital in advance. I think this is what you mean. You need to have a very strong personal competence credential in addition to a focused strategy that plays to your unique competencies. Or it can be a unique target niche. In the absence of an actual target, the investors need a compelling reason to believe. Maye you are ex Amazon with a highly experience supply chain / logistics type partner and you are going to to build a family of 2P brands on Amazon operating on a shared infrastructure. Something like that might work.
