How SEARCH CROWD FUND works

Deal Creation

We review and consult selected entrepreneurs and help them to develop strategies for their Search Funds. We help companies to create expansion roadmaps via M&A initiatives.

Funding

We list the most promising Search Funds and M&A deals on the platform and invite our investment community to syndicate investments via a registered dealer-broker.

Coaching

We provide in-house sales, marketing, fundraising and emotional intelligence coaching and training, as well as mentorship through our network of partners and investors.

What is Search Fund?

A search fund is an investment vehicle through which an entrepreneur raises funds from investors in order to acquire a company in which they wish to take an active, day-to-day leadership role.

In the first stage, a small group of investors back operating managers to search for a target company to acquire.

In our hybrid model, on case-by-case basis, investors might omit the first stage and participate only in syndicate of stage 2.
