Meet our founder
Saumil Jariwala
Saumil is on a mission to help 1,000 future CEOs acquire small businesses: 60+ down, 940 to go. That means helping searchers "get tough deals done" by sharing insights from nearly a decade of search fund investing, private equity investing, and private equity due diligence consulting.
Prior to launching the Feta Fund, Saumil worked as a search fund investor at Trilogy Search Partners. Previously, he worked at Charlesbank, a multi-billion dollar private equity firm. Saumil began his career at Bain & Company as a consultant specializing in private equity due diligence. Saumil attended the Wharton School for his undergraduate degree.
Saumil is a board member of Velox, a medical device services rollup. He previously was on the board of a gastroenterology practice rollup and two fast-growing SaaS companies.
Saumil often speaks about search funds at top business schools. He is also a regular panelist at search fund industry conferences, such as the Harvard conference in 2023, the Wharton conference in 2024, and the SEETA conference in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. He also spoke at the Stanford GSB conference in 2023 about diversity in search.
Saumil lives in Seattle with his wife Nandita and son Niam. He’s solemnly vowed to be first in line for season tickets once the Supersonics come back.
