# MER Search Capital

Traditional units, gap equity and self-funded.

The family office vehicle of a former investment banker and five-time chief executive, which states in a single sentence that it invests in traditional search units, gap equity and self-funded searchers. It publishes an earnings band of five hundred thousand to ten million dollars of EBITDA on revenue of two and a half to forty million, alongside criteria covering recurring revenue, valuation, customer diversification and growth levers.

## At a Glance

A self-funded buyer and a traditionally funded searcher can both approach it, which is worth more than a single-lane answer.

## What It Costs

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

## Best For

A searcher in either the traditional or self-funded lane, which makes this one of the few backers a self-funded buyer and a funded searcher can both approach.

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Serves both the traditional and self-funded lanes and says so explicitly, which is rare here
- Pro: Separates the search-phase investment from the gap equity in the same sentence, answering both money questions
- Pro: Publishes an earnings band and a revenue range rather than qualitative criteria alone
- Con: The contact page its own copy tells a searcher to use returns an error
- Con: Its founding date and career figures belong to the family office and to its founder personally, which its pages state
- Con: Publishes no check size, no stake and nothing about the searcher's own economics

## What Searchers Say

Named as a backer on the rosters of six separate searchers, one of which misspells the name. The family office and the search vehicle are two names for one firm and both are its own.
