Thoughts on fundraising for India based search fund

Hello Family, Search fund journey is amazing. Being Pro-active is the key to success for this model.

One of the problem that we are facing is with fund raising, We did test the appetite for search fund model via re-positioning with respect to India economics and did a test case with Indian investors, the understanding, risk taking and patient capital is certainly missing with Indian investors. Hence we thought to raise the capital where there is acceptance which is certainly US (we are still pushing for the model to be accepted amongst local investors).

So the broader question would be that is fundraising via intermediaries in US a much better strategy to raise fund than the traditional cold calling? If fundraising via intermediaries is viable, could anybody guide me towards search fund fundraising intermediaries? If not, any case study to guide us would be great.

Thank you, Ajay C. Kulkarni
