Hi, Search fund community member:

May is a time of vibrant renewal and energy in the world around us, the perfect backdrop to celebrate our EtA Launch Hub graduates. This weekend marks the culmination of their three months of hard work. At graduation, they share their stories and future ambitions with our volunteer mentors—an invaluable stepping stone. If you’re curious or wish to play a part in their journey, don’t hesitate to connect.

A huge thanks to Live Oak Bank and System Six for making dreams possible through their scholarships for our students.

In other news, I recently released data on the growth of search funds outside of the United States. The video is appended below.

 What’s on the horizon? Investors are increasingly seeking searchers who understand the levers of value creation to generate growth and the intricacies of operating a business. So, we have several sessions coming up on those topics like the Book Club with David Dodson.

 Here’s to a May filled with growth and inspiration.
