About
A search fund is a narrow instrument: an operator raises money to find a single company, buy it, and run it. Sariffodeen's search is for human-centric service businesses in workforce training, education, healthcare or essential services, with at least $10M in annual revenue, $2M or more of EBITDA and margins above 15 percent, held under what she describes as a disciplined long-term ownership model rather than a fund's exit clock. The credential behind it is Canada Learning Code, which she co-founded as Ladies Learning Code in 2011 and led for eleven years to more than 50 staff across 13 cities, reaching close to a million people and raising over $50M, before it merged with Ampere in September 2025. She teaches at Ivey Business School, and has been named to Canada's Top 40 Under 40 and RBC Entrepreneur of the Year.
