IESE Alumni Investors

About

IESE Alumni Investors refers to a network of former IESE Business School students and search fund operators who invest in new search funds, primarily those launched by IESE graduates and the broader European ETA community. IESE Business School in Barcelona has been one of the global leaders in search fund education and research, and its alumni network includes many successful former searchers who have gone on to become active search fund investors. This network operates informally and through organized investment groups, providing search capital and acquisition equity to the next generation of search fund entrepreneurs. IESE alumni investors bring first-hand operational experience from having run the search fund playbook themselves, offering practical mentorship alongside capital. The network is particularly active in European search funds but also invests in Latin American and global opportunities, reflecting IESE's international student body.
