The posting

We are seeking ambitious and talented individuals to join our platform as Search Fund Entrepreneurs or "searchers". As a searcher at SMEVentures, you will embark on the journey to identify, acquire, and subsequently operate a high-potential business as its CEO.

As of November '23, two-thirds of search fund acquisitions in Australia have been completed by SMEVentures-backed searchers. With the support of our experienced team, tech-powered sourcing engine, and vast network, SMEVentures searchers are empowered to succeed as future CEOs.

Requirements

To understand the path of a search fund entrepreneur, and before applying for this position, we strongly suggest reading through the entire SMEVentures blog. To understand what we look for in a searcher, read this post.

Deciding to search is a much, much bigger decision than applying for a job. Yes, you will get paid. And yes, you will work your tail off. However, this choice will likely carry far more weight than any other career move you have made to date for the following reasons:

  1. Once you experience the thrill of running your own business, there’s no turning back. You will find it difficult to be satisfied with nearly any other occupation.
  2. The opportunity cost is significant. You must be ready to dedicate the next 7-10 years to this project, a period during which you may have otherwise taken several other jobs or received several promotions, working your way up the corporate ladder.
  3. The upside opportunity is even more significant, both from an economic standpoint and in terms of personal development.

If a search fund is the right path for you, then you’re making one of the best decisions of your life. If not, then be prepared for a bumpy road. I therefore suggest taking time with your responses. Take them to heart, and treat them with care.

Lastly, please note that we currently partner only with entrepreneurs in Australia and New Zealand. On rare occasions, we will consider working with a searcher elsewhere in Asia Pacific.

Thank you for your interest, and we very much look forward to hearing from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
