Lunch and Learn with GJ King and Will Bressman

The Different Types of Search Funds with GJ King & Will Bressman

Not all searches look alike. In this session, GJ King and Will Bressman break down the different models of search fund entrepreneurship - traditional (raised-capital) search funds, self-funded searches, accelerator and incubator-backed searches, and independent sponsor structures - and what each means for how you finance the search, run the deal, and split economics with investors.

Expect a clear comparison of the tradeoffs: capital raised up front vs. flexibility, investor control vs. autonomy, and the risk/return profile of each path. Whether you're mapping out your own search or just trying to understand the ETA landscape, you'll leave knowing which model fits which kind of searcher. No prior experience needed.
