For Searchers & CEOs

At Newton Equity Partners, we understand that embarking on the Search Fund journey is not just about acquiring a business — it’s about building a legacy. We are here to partner with searchers and CEOs who share our vision for leading with purpose, innovation, and resilience. As you prepare for this transformative journey, you’ll find that our commitment to supporting you goes far beyond capital.

​​

Our values are the foundation of every decision we make. Integrity guides us — built on ethics, transparency, accountability, and trust. We believe in fostering relationships that are grounded in honesty and mutual respect.

​

We celebrate Hard Work, valuing the passion, persistence, and discipline required to overcome challenges and drive meaningful results. We know that the path is demanding, but with resilience and tenacity, anything is possible.

​

We are committed to Learning in all its forms. Humility, curiosity, and adaptability are essential traits we seek in our searchers and CEOs, as these qualities fuel growth and innovation. By embracing diversity and continuous improvement, we push the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

​

Finally, we are driven by Impact. To us, impact means creating lasting positive change — whether it’s in the businesses we acquire, the communities we serve, or the world we live in. We value empathy, kindness, and joy in all our interactions, and we strive to ensure our investments contribute to sustainability and responsible growth.

​

We seek entrepreneurs and leaders who are ready to assume accountability, learn, and make a lasting impact. Together, we can build something extraordinary.

​

Let's share this journey.​​​​​

Searcher & CEO Selection 

Newton Equity Partners' signature selection process is built on over a decade of expertise in MBA admissions, honed to identify the key traits that lead to success in the Search Fund model.

​

Our process is designed to deeply understand a Searcher’s or CEO's character, self-awareness, leadership potential, grit, coachability, and mental agility. By gathering diverse perspectives from our experienced team, a trusted global network, and individuals who have worked closely with the Searcher or CEO, we develop a comprehensive 360-degree view of each candidate.

​

This multi-context approach ensures that we select Searchers and partner with CEOs with the qualities necessary to drive successful acquisitions, aligned with the high standards we expect.
