Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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.

Do you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

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.

Understanding the Seller’s Psychology and Motivations

· Calgary, AB, Canada

Psychology can play a big role in acquisitions. A seller's mindset and motivations can vary. Although a purchaser can try to anticipate the every move of the other side, there is always an element of unpredictability and often tied with emotion.Having an understanding for the experience a seller is going through can help you to navigate your conversations and interactions with empathy and tact.This webinar is designed for business buyers to better understand the position of a business owner who is selling what could be the most valuable and personal asset of their lives.Join us for a panel-discussion style webinar on the topic, with industry players who have lived experience.We are excited to have with us:Psychologist, Dr. Laura: redacted Planner, Joe Markovitch: redacted Lawyer, Doug McCartney: redacted
