Limited Partners are increasingly seeking to back emerging fund managers with real-world competence, leading to a growing interest in the search fund model.
Unlike venture capital, search funds provide a comprehensive training ground for future institutional GPs in deal sourcing, operational leadership, and capital stewardship.
Search funds offer hands-on experience in managing capital, enterprises, and operational challenges, providing invaluable lessons in a real business environment.
The search fund model presents a unique opportunity to develop emerging fund managers who understand the complexities of ownership, management, and value creation in real businesses.
