About SFA
SFA is an accelerator for search funds, a model in which entrepreneurs (called searchers) look for a business to acquire and then run it as equity-owning CEOs. It provides coaching, resources and support covering the search, deal evaluation, due diligence and management of the acquired business.
Its customers are aspiring CEOs who join its searcher cohorts. When a searcher is ready to close a deal, SFA provides equity from a fund of committed capital. The company reports 27 CEOs and says 85% of searchers since its 2015 founding have succeeded in buying a business.
SFA was founded in 2015 and its 2024 cohort was its tenth. It admits a new group of searchers each summer and is recruiting for its next cohort. Timothy Bovard is Founder and CEO, and the team includes partners based in Denver and New Orleans.
Product: Search fund accelerator offering coaching, resources and deal support for searchers and CEOs, with equity from a committed-capital fund at acquisition.
