Year

Not published by any primary source

The searcher's own firm's team page says he ran the company for five years and sold it, with no year on either end, and the backer's operating-companies page carries the company with a description and no date. Nothing read states when the purchase closed.

Kind

Physical operations

A maker of pipe and sewer inspection cameras, run for five years by a searcher who later became an operating partner at a firm backing searches.

What Happened Next

Sold: his own firm's page says he was chief executive of the search fund-acquired business for five years and returned a ten-times net multiple to his investors after growing and selling it. A backer's operating-companies page still lists the company, and no page read dates the purchase or the sale.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
