I run a podcast and website for veterans interested in higher ed, entrepreneurship, and professional careers. Just added this new interview with a veteran who got started searching here on Searchfunder.

After a few army buddies told John Hubbard that he should consider business acquisition, he thought he'd look into it. At the time, John was out of the army, working as a cop, and didn't have a fancy MBA. He went onto Searchfunder.com and posted something to the tune of "I'm a veteran and want to buy a business." He then got dozens of emails from investors looking to invest in him and within a few months, he acquired a business.
His first meeting with an investor they met at a bar and got wings and beer. They chatted about business for 20 minutes and then the guy said, "You sound cool. I'll give you $200k. Now I'd like to hear about Afghanistan because that's really interesting."
