Why have they become so popular all of a sudden? A few years ago maybe 1-2 people we knew would be running search funds but now it is everywhere, especially in spaces like HVAC and other historically mom and pop businesses.

Read the Stanford primer, biannual research studies, and other online materials or books (like Jan Simmons’) to understand why. The returns are on average really attractive and the experience sounds pretty cool as well if buying your way to a CEO seat at 30
Returns are pretty good and it’s an easier way to run your own business than starting something from the ground up. Also SBA loans can make it pretty attractive as well and you don’t need too much capital.
