Discover Capital
By: William Sahlman, Robert White and Stephanie Puzio
Abstract
"Discover Capital" provides an in-depth look at a first time search fund run by the tenacious Kelly Quann Bianucci. It provides background information about search funds and follows Kelly as she successfully raises her over-subscribed fund and begins the search process.
The following useful information is included for students who are considering starting a search fund: offering memoranda, fundraising techniques, staffing, screening techniques, marketing materials and processes, letters of intent, and deal evaluation criteria.
The case also looks at the potential fund returns from the perspective of an investor.
