What can be said about the search fund activity in Toronto and greater Canada? Is there a noticeable trend in the number of searchers increasing YoY? If so, what are their success records and which industry gets the most investment play?

Is there an ample amount of investors readily available to invest in search funds? If so, how does one come to engage and solicit commitments from them?

Not to be presumptuous , but it doesn’t feel like the canadian economy (especially its capital markets) and policies are conducive for the would-be entrepreneur/searcher. At least, no where close to the States.

Interested to hear data-backed and opinionated commentary on this.
