We recently saw an interesting overview of 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 by Search Funds News that highlights the strong momentum of the ecosystem. Behind every acquisition there is an entrepreneur who decides to take the leap into ownership and lead the next phase of growth of an established company. At 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, we are proud to support that journey. Over the past 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬: • We have 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 42 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 (including 6 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚) • 5 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 have already acquired a company in Europe • These acquisitions represent around 5% 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 11% 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞. For us, these numbers are less about statistics and more about what they represent: entrepreneurs stepping into leadership, companies entering a new growth phase, and long-term value being built in the SME ecosystem. We look forward to continuing to support the next generation of searchers. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀. https://lnkd.in/evpFUmDy
