Who are most active SMB/minority search investors?

I'm a self-funded searcher homing in on a compelling opportunity, but would only be seeking to raise ~$300k-$400k in equity capital for ~10-15% of the business. I know traditional search fund investors seek a much larger check size/equity target, but I'd love to connect with minority investors who'd be interested to take a look at this or other deals as I narrow in on a target. Anyone here or elsewhere I should connect with?

If the deal has a climate/environmental angle, then I would be happy to invest as an LP and help the business however I can.

Slack Water Capital is active in self-funded search deals. We've done over 11 deals. I'm a former searcher, operator, who has had a successful exit. I like to be an active advisor/board member and help searchers achieve exceptional results. Our typical check size is $350-$500k. https://www.slackwatercap.com/investments
