Open Search Fund

YON has chosen Open Search Fund as the preferred channel to find the perfect buyer to so many SMEs for sale.

Open Search Fund is the first PLATFORM-model designed to:
- ACCELERATE SEARCH FUND CREATION AND MANAGEMENT* by bringing Searchers and Investors together;
- DECREASE THE TIMING of task management, thereby raising the success rate of setup and search by the Searcher first and the Search Fund later.

Specialized skills are made available to ambitious and pragmatic future managers, successful entrepreneurs who want to preserve and develop their companies.

“Our platform-model is designed to accelerate the creation, management, scouting and acquisition support of Italian SMEs, by Search Funds dedicated to specific sectors." (Giacomo Andreoli - Founder and CEO)

* A Search Fund is an investment vehicle through which experienced investors financially and professionally support the efforts of aspiring entrepreneurs (so-called Searchers) whose goal is to identify and acquire a single company for development. The Search Fund model was conceptualized in 1984 in the United States by Stanford University and is now part of the alternative investment asset class by business schools, institutional investors, and individuals.
