Search funder title

by a searcher from McGill University

Is there a standard title that searchers should have for their searching companies? Founder, Director, Principal, Managing Partner, etc...

I have seen many called "Managing Partner", but I am a solo searcher so am wondering if "Founder & Managing Director" is more appropriate or if there was some industry norm that I was missing?

I have been wondering the same thing. I might go with Principal, Managing Director sounds a little too lofty for a search fund.

I feel it's helpful to use different titles with different folks. For banks and investors, fancy titles. For sellers, simpler titles. Thoughts?
