How this list was built
Funds are on it when their own website says they are a search fund: one or two entrepreneurs raising money to buy and run one company. A firm counts when its headquarters is in Europe.
From LeadWave's investor database, updated November 2026. Emails are found and checked one by one.

Frequently asked questions
LeadWave lists 170+ search funds in Europe (November 2026).
One or two entrepreneurs, often fresh out of business school, who raise money to find, buy and run one small, profitable company. The search usually takes about two years; then the searcher becomes the CEO.
830+ search funds with their searchers, plus 120+ search fund investors with their partners: 1,000+ decision makers' emails in all. Each firm comes with its website, LinkedIn and location; each person with their title, email and LinkedIn. You get it as Excel and CSV.
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.
