We're excited to host this MeetUp for searcher based in or searching for businesses in Europe. For each session. we will do our best to select and announce a specific topic for discussion beforehand. All self-funded searchers are invited -- whether you are just exploring the option or bought your company years ago.

Depending on attendance levels, we will use breakout rooms by country or language to create a group size sufficiently small enough for introverts to feel comfortable conversing. Following the breakout groups, we will have report backs to the full group to share learnings.

Even if you can't turn on video, please be prepared to participate, share and contribute.

Searchfunder MeetUp is a networking and information series for those exploring the search fund concept or actively searching for a company to acquire and operate as a CEO.

Through our meetups, you can network with others in the community, learn about the phases of a search fund, stay up to date on issues and trends in the search community, plus gain tips and tricks to get the most out of your Searchfunder membership.

Our Searchfunder Sessions, S.O.S. and Searchfunder MeetUps are offered at no additional charge to our members as part of their subscription to the community. Non-members are charged a nominal amount to contribute to our efforts in bringing helpful and useful content. Non-members may register here: https://bit.ly/livestream_events.

Chat from session:

For ecommerce acquisitions / rollups, take a look at Thrasio's model: https://news.crunchbase.com/news/e-commerce-marketplace-aggregators-are-hot-on-thrasios-heels-as-companies-raise-2-3b/ This is more of a VC-backed play, but the typical funding structure for these rollups is 20% equity + 80% debt.
