Yeah, CapitalPad is now one of the top investors in self-funded search fund deals. I think it's been brought on by a few different things. So one, Searchers have realized that CapitalPad will invest between $1 million to $2 million in each searcher deal. It can go as low as $300,000, but it prefers the larger equity allocations.

So that's obviously opened it up and brought in more quality deal flow. I also think CapitalPad has benefited because it's a bit of a two-sided platform. So on one side CapitalPad is obviously investing directly in searcher deals, but on the other side, it's allowing accredited investors to actually access this asset class.

Which for the individual has been a very difficult thing to do most of the time because as an individual who's not completely plugged in, they're not gonna get enough deal flow, right? Maybe they can find one or two, but you need be looking at dozens of deals for every deal you say yes to.

And so through CapitalPad, that's opened it up to individual accredited investors. It also allows them to write a little bit smaller checks since all the checks are aggregated together instead of just having to be one giant allocation. And last but not least, I think. CapitalPad has definitely just benefited from just the wave of interest in self-funded search investing.

Brought on by Walker Deibel's Buy Then Build book brought on by the SIG self-funded search study and definitely by Stanford's annual search fund study that they release. So through all those things things have been really good.
