Juan Ruiz - Student-led Search Investing - Ep.136

<p>My guest on this episode is Juan Ruiz. Juan is the founder of CommunEtA, the first-ever student-led search investment fund. The goal of the fund is multifold: provide exposure and training for students wanting to build a career in search, provide a grassroots investment option for searchers, and spread the word about search across the country.</p><p>We start off the episode discussing a few student-run funds on the venture capital side that inspired CommunEtA and round out the conversation with topics like building a team of students that are constantly joining and graduating, the power of search to transform someone&#39;s career, and how search might evolve in the future. Enjoy.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/juanfruiz1/" rel="nofollow">Juan Ruiz on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="http://hbsetaclub.com/" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Student Club</a></p><p><a href="https://www.blueroad.com/" rel="nofollow">Blue Road Capital</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEQP4VVuyrY" rel="nofollow">Severance on Apple+</a></p><p> </p><p><strong><u>Topics:</u></strong></p><p>(3:32) - What models did you study for this dorm room-style fund for the VC world?</p><p>(6:52) - What kind of oversight is there from t
