More Than Capital: Guidance for Search Fund Entrepreneurs

Monthly Meetings & Hands-On Guidance

Monthly meetings with each searcher to review progress, set priorities, and address challenges. Sessions focus on sourcing, seller discussions, deal structuring, and bank interactions, with targeted introductions to advisors, lenders, and sector experts to keep the search disciplined and on track.

Access to a global advisory board

Direct access to senior operators and industry experts throughout search, acquisition, and early CEO years. Advisors provide quick input during sourcing, diligence, deal structuring, and transition planning, and may join the board post-acquisition when relevant.

Monthly peer sessions with four non-competing searchers, lightly moderated by Moonbase. A focused setting to share experiences, compare approaches, and build accountability around sourcing, sellers, financing, and sector topics.

Community insights and shared knowledge
