Co-author of Search Fund Study

2010 - 2010

Conceived in 1984, the search fund is an investment vehicle in which investors financially support an entrepreneur's efforts to locate, acquire, manage and grow a privately held company. The model offers relatively inexperienced professionals with limited capital resources a quick path to managing a company in which they have a meaningful ownership position. Since 1996, the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies (CES) at Stanford Graduate School of Business has conducted a series of studies on the performance of search funds - I co-authored the 2009 edition of the study.
