The Traditional Search Fund Model is Broken

The Problem

The traditional search model is broken: For 40 years, the majority of searchers fail to acquire a business, and for those who do succeed, one-third face layoffs. Under the current governance searchers are left in the dark and marginalized. Investors dominate the ecosystem with a one-sided approach, often blaming searchers for incompetence. This leads to unjust layoffs and CEO failures. Investors frame this as a communication or effort issue, but in reality, it’s a strategy to deflect accountability.
