Getting started with a search can be intimidating - there are numerous information sources, tons of conflicting information, and limited tactical insights when it comes to planning your exact moves (apart from this podcast). Helping people learn how to search is the topic for our next episode of Private Market Insights.
We interviewed Chandler Reed, an SMB owner who has a deep understanding of what it means to be a beginning searcher because he helps mentor them through his work at Pursuant Capital's Search Fund Bootcamp. We asked Chandler key tactical questions about getting started and sifting through available resources.
