WHAT IS A SEARCH FUND?

Search Funds offer complementary advantages for both entrepreneurs and investors. For entrepreneurs, it provides an opportunity to become a CEO in their area of expertise, providing valuable hands-on experience building and further expanding a successful company to reach its full potential without having to start from scratch. For investors, it offers the potential for significant returns when the acquired company succeeds and grows under the capable and experienced leadership of the searcher.
