Search Fund Acquisition Case Studies

by an investor from Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Catolica Lisbon School of Business and Economics

Hey, 
Has anyone seen case studies on search acquisitions, I've seen the broader market studies but was keen to get specific information on case studies, what went right and wrong, acquisition and exit multiples, returns achieved, etc... 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Goncalo, I found this great resource on Jim Sharpe's website https://jimsteinsharpe.com/reference-sources/case-histories and i highly recommend i. Read it before buying some of the cases. Hope you find it useful. Best, Ola

Hi, ^Searchfunder member: You can find case studies in two ways: (a) type the phrase case study in the search bar and then click the news tab on the far right of the results box and (b) click the case studies tag at the bottom of your post. Warmly, Karen
