Your background should direct you completely and totally towards a bias for action. You are trying to be an entrepreneur...searching is just a means to get there.

Francisco, you might have a technical expertise on a determined background that will help you to assess an opportunity or risk on that particular matter for the business; however for a search fund journey you must have an integral vision of an industry, business model, financial skills, what is driving the fundamentals and most importantly how you can create value.
