Five Elms Capital

SEARCH FUNDS

We actively partner with Search Fund entrepreneurs to invest in or acquire profitable companies and have a deep understanding of the search process. Search Fund entrepreneurs come to task prepared to operate and grow a business, but often seek our assistance in deal sourcing, due diligence, structuring, and capital formation.

  1. Sourcing: We focus on technology-enabled service businesses, so our investment theses often lend themselves to Search Funds’ acquisition criteria given their high growth potential and low capital intensity. Size and stage are also complimentary.
  2. Due Diligence & Structuring: We make 4-7 investments each year and often help entrepreneurs with financial & business due diligence in addition to negotiating & structuring a transaction.
  3. Capital Formation: We help source debt and bring additional strategic equity investors to complete the platform acquisition.

If you have an interest in discussing your search we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
