How this list was built

From LeadWave's investor database, updated November 2026. Emails are found and checked one by one.

Frequently asked questions
LeadWave lists 37 search funds in Canada (November 2026).

Business owners who want to sell, brokers and M&A advisors, lenders, lawyers and accountants who serve searchers, and investors looking for searchers to back.
