I am a seasoned private equity investor who is looking to find a company to acquire and run post-acquisition. In my two decades of investing, I have invested over $1 billion dollars of investor equity capital and am very familiar with all aspects of a deal process and will work commercially and quickly to review your opportunity. I am looking for businesses that have high gross customer retention and operate in industries that are growing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Search Funds in this directory ordered?

Firms in the Boston Search Funds directory are ordered based on recent deal activity on Axial. The default order reflects observed market signals rather than a subjective ranking of firm quality.

What information is included in each Search Fund profile?

Each profile provides information about the firm’s areas of focus, transaction criteria, and relevant activity on Axial’s M&A platform. Together, these details provide a clearer view of where a firm is active and the types of companies and opportunities most relevant for it.

What company sizes are most common for Boston Search Funds?

Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Boston Search Funds is $3M-$14M, with a core EBITDA range of $800K-$3M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

How important is location when evaluating Search Funds?

Location can be an important consideration, but it does not necessarily define where a firm is active. Firms based in Boston may bring regional knowledge, local relationships, and experience with businesses in the area, while many also pursue opportunities across a broader geographic footprint. Geography is best considered alongside sector focus, company size, and relevant transaction activity.

Do all Search Funds in this directory operate exclusively in Boston?

Not necessarily. A firm’s location does not always define its geographic reach. Many Search Funds based in Boston are active across multiple regions, while firms based elsewhere may also participate in the Boston market. Location can provide useful context, but it should not be interpreted as a firm’s geographic boundary.

How do I compare Search Funds in Boston?

When comparing Search Funds in Boston, consider factors such as sector focus, size range, and recent transaction activity. These characteristics vary across the 69 firms included in the directory and can help identify firms that align with your needs.
