# Highland Creek Partners

Two former searchers and sixty advisors behind them.

A firm founded in 2013 by two searchers who had raised seed capital and gone on to acquire and exit a company of their own, now naming forty-five search funds among its entrepreneurs and counting eighteen current and seven exited portfolio companies. It publishes a network of sixty-plus advisors dedicated to supporting its searchers and states that it has outperformed the Stanford search fund index on exited investments.

## At a Glance

A deep bench and a thin site: everything published is about who stands behind a searcher and nothing about what they should buy.

## What It Costs

Investment terms, not fees. No fee is charged to a searcher; what the firm publishes about its own side is in the row.

## Best For

A traditional searcher who values a large advisory bench and is comfortable with a firm that publishes no address and no criteria.

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Names forty-five search funds among its entrepreneurs, so the roster is checkable rather than counted
- Pro: Publishes a dated founding story including the acquisition and exit its founders made themselves
- Pro: Publishes the size of the advisory network behind its searchers rather than only asserting one
- Con: No address, city or country published on any page
- Con: Publishes no earnings band, no industries and no company criteria of any kind
- Con: One of its partners' personal investment counts sits beside the firm's own and the two are easy to confuse

## What Searchers Say

Named as a backer on the rosters of five separate searchers. Its founders' own acquisition already appears on this site's acquisitions record, sourced to this same team page.
