Why do search funds work?

• Searchers are talented entrepreneurs from top MBA programs with programs specifically teaching “search.”​

• Due diligence – searching up to two years to find the right business.​

• Searchers target stable, profitable, growing businesses.​

• Less competition (microcap) leads to more attractive valuations (lower entry multiples).​

• Ongoing mentorship from experienced investors, to navigate search, to acquisition, to operations.
