Frequent asked questions:

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

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

Rocky Mountain ETA Conference

· Limelight Boulder, University Avenue, Boulder, CO, USA

Whether you’re exploring ETA, launching your search, or actively working toward a close, the Rocky Mountain Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference (RMETA) is designed to help you move forward. RMETA combines practical workshops, targeted programming, and candid conversations with searchers, operators, investors, lenders, and advisors from across the ETA community. Hands-on workshops give you the opportunity to dig into real challenges, work through questions with experienced members of the ecosystem, and leave with ideas you can put to work in your search. With two programming tracks, you can choose the sessions most relevant to where you are in your ETA journey, from understanding the fundamentals to tackling sourcing, valuation, diligence, financing, legal issues, and operating after close. Whether you're still deciding if ETA is right for you or you're deep into your search, come with questions and leave with practical insights, new connections, and people you can call as you move toward acquisition.

I'm psyched to be part of the organizing team for RMETA (and to be teaching ETA at CU's Leeds School of Business), and that we're back for year two. This year will be bigger and better than last year, with new speakers, workshops, and a larger venue. If you're in the area or feel like visiting for the ETA discourse and the epic views, we'd love to add you to the conversation!
