Peter Kelly (Co-author) · Stefanos Zenios (Co-author) · Dom Ng (Co-author) · Stanford University (Publisher)
Research on search funds formed in the United States and Canada.
Keep in mind: Historical results do not predict your acquisition outcome.
Article collection
Yale School of Management (Publisher) · A.J. Wasserstein (Featured author · individual works may have coauthors)
A faculty publication list connecting to cases and notes on small-business ownership.
Keep in mind: Authorship and access differ by work; the listing is not an open course.
Publication
Peter Kelly (Co-author) · Dom Ng (Co-author) · Kim Latypov (Co-author) · Julie Makinen (Co-author) · Stanford University (Publisher)
Stanford’s 2026 guide to undertaking a search fund.
Keep in mind: Search-fund structures are not a universal model for every small-business purchase.
Program
Acquira (Program / community provider)
Self-paced training, group calls, coaching, and an investment-committee review of opportunities.
Keep in mind: You need refundable enrollment or expect every service to run for the same period.
Podcast
Acquiring Minds (Publisher)
Interviews about finding, buying and operating small businesses. Webinars are a separate part of the publisher’s collection.
Keep in mind: You need a step-by-step course or a professional review of your own deal. A guest’s outcome is one example.
Recording
Acquiring Minds (Publisher)
Recorded sessions on acquisition search, financing and deal work.
Keep in mind: Access and sponsor interests depend on the selected session. Verify dated financial or legal claims independently.
Acquisition Ace (Program / community provider)
Video training, live coaching, deal reviews and community for buyers.
Keep in mind: Confirm total fees, term and support limits. A free discovery call is not free program enrollment.
Newsletter
Acquisition Ace (Publisher)
Email acquisition learning from Acquisition Ace.
Keep in mind: The newsletter is separate from paid coaching.
Program
New Majority Capital (Program / community provider)
An acquisition-learning accelerator linked by New Majority Capital.
Keep in mind: Current cohort dates, delivery and enrollment terms require confirmation; participation does not guarantee capital.
Newsletter
Kaustubh Deo (Author)
Kaustubh Deo’s writing about buying and operating small businesses.
Keep in mind: Personal experience is not independent deal verification.
Book

An introduction to buying and building an existing business.
Keep in mind: Reading does not include individual advice or implementation.
