A founding principle of the search fund industry is that the combination of youthful talent and experienced mentors could lead to outsized gains. The partnership of hungry entrepreneurs and patient, thoughtful investors plays a significant role in many of the industry’s success stories.

The SFA is dedicated to facilitating and enhancing the dynamic between search CEOs and investor directors. We do so by:

​

• Providing opportunities for search CEOs and investors to socialize and discuss important issues

• Introducing newly minted CEOs to potential CEO Coaches

• Working with peer-to-peer networking organizations, such as Vistage and YPO to facilitate CEO development and mentorship
