We explain what a search fund is (and who’s funding them), the four main steps, how they originally got started, who they’re great for, and why you should use one. We also talk about how my partner and I founded our firm, Stables Partners; the process of acquiring companies through search funds; and the general, broader community around search funds.
We hope you join us for today’s episode!
