A search fund is an entrepreneurial path undertaken by one or two individuals (the “searchers”) who form an investment vehicle with a small group of aligned investors, some of whom become mentors, to search for, acquire, and lead a privately held company for the medium to long term, typically six to ten years. For investors, a search fund can provide attractive returns in a two-stage investment: an initial investment in support of the entrepreneur’s sourcing of a company followed by a larger amount of capital in the acquisition of this existing business. Search funds offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to become equity-owning business operators (typically in the role of CEO) before they have accumulated the capital or experience required to buy or lead a company. Search Fund is focused on identifying and building high-potential businesses through operational excellence and long-term value creation.
