Hi all! I’m Tony, I’m new to Searchfunder. I’m also a solo, self-funded searcher actively working toward acquiring a profitable small business. My background is in strategy and operations, where I’ve spent 15+ years building teams, improving unit economics, and scaling processes in complex environments. I’m pursuing search independently with the goal of long-term ownership and hands-on leadership post-acquisition. I’m looking to connect with other active searchers, self-funded or traditional, who want to form a small accountability group. I’m thinking a tight group of 4 to 6 people who are operator-minded and execution-focused, and who would be willing to hop on a Zoom or Google Meet to answer a few simple questions: • What did you actually do this week? • Where are you blocked? • How can we help you move forward? If you’re actively searching, preparing to acquire, or recently closed and want peer accountability, drop a comment or DM me. If nothing else, it’s always good to expand the searcher network.
