Topic

Many aspiring entrepreneurs believe that starting a business from scratch is the only path to ownership, but acquiring and growing an existing business can be a faster and more predictable route to success. In this session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA), including sourcing deals, evaluating opportunities, financing acquisitions, and scaling a business post-purchase. Drawing from my own experience acquiring, growing, and exiting a small business, I’ll share practical insights, key lessons, and common pitfalls to help students understand if ETA is the right path for them.
