Search Fund Fellowships - gaining traction?

by a searcher from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management

HBS recently began a Search Fund Fellowship (link below) which provides up to $100k in financing over 2 years to MBA grads and aspiring searchers-turned-CEOs. Is HBS alone in this regard among business schools? If so, what's the likelihood other business schools will follow HBS's lead?

I agree with ^Searchfunder member‌. I may have to inquire with the school to learn more. ETA just keeps growing. I wonder what professors are involved with the program? Ruback & Yudkoff?

Very interesting - I wonder how many are given each year - sometimes programs like that are only 1-2 and other times 15-20.
