You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Seeking brokers/networkers in niche mfg

I've started a holding company focused on acquiring niche manufacturers in New Englad. Can anyoen refer me to quality brokers either in the region or that specialize in niche manufacturing, test and measurement, process control, etc. anywhere in the US?

Let me know what you find--my impression after working in manufacturing in Massachusetts for the past 6 years and looking for potential acquisitions for 8 months is that there are very few manufacturers for sale in this region that are worth buying. Many have closed in the past few decades, and the ones that are doing well have already been bought, often multiple times, by private equity firms or larger companies.

I don't have a direct introduction to the brokers, but my team can help you in getting in touch with those brokers, as well as finding businesses who could be fit for acquisition.
