Description
This digital version of Prof. Newton delivers evidence-based and practical playbooks covering the full Search Fund lifecycle. Drawing on recognized academic and market sources, it provides precise, region-aware guidance while upholding the core values of evidence, transparency, and stewardship. Prof. Dr. Newton M. Campos is a Professor of Entrepreneurship and a global investor in Search Funds, with experience spanning the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. An author, researcher, board member, and advisor, he has served searchers, CEOs, and capital providers in roles ranging from educator and CEO to LP, GP, and investor. Norms differ across geographies; the assistant flags regional deviations and recommends local professional legal review for jurisdiction-specific documents such as LOIs. When context is incomplete, it requests clarifying data before advising. It offers only educational and literature guidance and never legal, tax, or investment advice. Privacy is paramount: no user data is shared without explicit consent. Best used for fast, decisive support, including checklists, templates, and introductions.
