Hey all! Very excited to be a part of this community.

My partner and I are currently doing a self funded search and have identified a target and some lead investors.

Lots of moving parts still, but I'm wondering what are the latest market economics for self-funded search partnerships and how are those deals typically structured between equity at close, vesting over time and based on IRR targets? Any information on what is standard these days would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if there are any lawyers that would be willing to hop on a call to quickly talk about deal structure, it would be so very much appreciated.

Thanks!
TJ
