Method & Source
This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts.
- Search Fund Partners' own account searchfunds.net

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. One backer names Bryson Smith as chief executive beside an April 2022 investment; the other's table carries the same name against 2022. Neither page states a purchase, and the company's own site names no officer anywhere on it.
