Here’s the deal. 1 in 3 Search Funds fail.

Even some of the most educated and experienced operators experience difficulties in acquiring a business.  Acquiring a business is not the most intuitive process.  I built the Search Fund Playbook to bridge the knowledge gap and provide a concise, user friendly curriculum.

Joining the Search Fund Playbook community provides you exclusive access to:

An organized platform of 13 narrated presentations across 10 learning modules and associated (downloadable) templates – a proven approach that integrates all of the necessary steps and processes required to acquire a business.

An eco-system of Investors, Intermediaries, Lenders, and Other Professionals that can support you in your journey.

Access to direct messaging between Members, and regular, live streamed Q&A sessions hosted by a variety of successful search funders.

Level up all the necessary skills to acquire businesses
— with confidence, rigor and efficiency.

About Adam Borcz

I come from a family of entrepreneurs and teachers. My father started an ad agency shortly after college and my mother was a career high school teacher. My DNA supports my desire to operate small businesses and a passion for teaching and instructing. Search Fund Playbook is a direct intersection of these desires. I spent my formative years serving in the military on a nuclear submarine, got my MBA, and then spent 5 years working in the distressed private equity space. These experiences shaped my desire to launch multiple searches. Along the way, I have interfaced with dozens of searchers and there is always one consistent theme. “Nothing really teaches you how to search, nor provides you with all of the necessary tools.” So, I founded Search Fund Playbook to close the knowledge gap on searching. This playbook has been used over and over again during my own searches and through several other acquisitions. I believe it is a recipe for success and can close the unfortunate statistic that 1 out of every 3 searcher fails in their search.
