Powering connection and opportunity through curated events for the search and independent sponsor community.

Search x Sponsor is a global network of over 1700 investors, founders and families focused on small business ownership.

First organized in 2022 by a collective of like-minded searchers and sponsors with the goal of building in-person community in the world of search and independent sponsorship.

Over the past year we have hosted a series of networking events in partnership with leading financial institutions and business schools across the US and Europe, and our community continues to grow.

We are currently working on a diverse schedule of events for Fall 2024.

You’re in great company.
