Anna’s Search Fund & ETA Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Executive

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

Hi, my name is Anna and I am excited to get to know you! A bit about me -- I completed a nine-month self-funded search across multiple industries before entering into a multi-unit area development agreement with a national franchise. I have a Harvard MBA and training from the leading professors in ETA. I’m deeply active in the search fund community and I look forward to being your thought partner at any stage of your search journey -- from learning more about the model, to weighing the pros/cons of funded vs. self-funded to ideating during the thesis process, reviewing/providing guidance on PPM creation (if funded), discussing search strategy (proprietary vs. opportunistic), and everything in between!

Deal Sourcing

Due Diligence

Industry & Company Targeting

Thesis Development

About Anna

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m a recent graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA ’25), a proud daughter of immigrants, and a first-generation college graduate. I currently run Solvista Partners, a search fund focused on finding and operating a great business for the long term. Outside of work, I love helping others navigate their career and life journeys. My husband and I live in Florida with our one-year-old dog, June.

Why do I coach?

Every step of my journey has always felt overwhelming at the outset. I vividly remember the day I hit my target GMAT score and then thinking, “now what?” I had no roadmap. Thankfully, I had amazing coaches and support to get me through to the finish line. If that sounds familiar, I’d love to help. Whether you’re figuring out your story, choosing schools, or polishing essays, I’ll bring the guidance, strategy, and support you need to feel confident every step of the way.
