About

Searcher School represents the educational venture of Jed Morris, a former Air Force veteran and Microsoft engineer who transitioned from a failed $1 million business acquisition experience into becoming an independent sponsor and acquisition coach. Morris, who leads Sunset Coast Partners (focused on defense contractor acquisitions), offers the "Start Searching Challenge" and comprehensive searcher education programs built around risk mitigation and realistic diligence practices learned from his own acquisition failure. Drawing from his painful experience of losing nearly $1 million on a landscaping business acquisition, Morris focuses on teaching acquisition entrepreneurs the hard truths about business buying while building a community of fellow acquisition professionals committed to transparent education about deal risks.
