Starting with I know everything is negotiable. I'm curious what terms people have been able to successfully negotiate doing self funded search.

Also if you don't plan on operating but find and acquisition but want to place an operator and maintain control.

Regarding the assignment of an operator, it is probably a difficult one to get totally off the hook from running the business. You could give away part of your equity share or bring an operator using an options pool. But... as you say... everything is negotiable..

John, thanks I assumed the deal would require me using part of the equity I negotiated as comp for the operator . But hearing somebody else say it helps
