Hi everyone! 👋

We are excited to invite you to the kick-off event of the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) vertical within the Entrepreneurship Association! 🎉

If you have ever wondered what it takes to buy and run a small business, whether through a traditional search fund, a self-funded search, or another path, this session is the perfect place to start. 💼

📅 WHEN: Thursday, October 22, 3:00 PM
📍 WHERE: B301
🎤 HOSTED BY: Jordan Wilimovsky and Eugenio Cox, Co-Vice Presidents of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition


We will be joined by a panel of practitioners who represent every stage of the journey:

🎓 Kent Weaver, UCLA professor with a long track record in the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition space
🔍 Jon Reed, UCLA alumnus, currently searching for a business to acquire
🏢 Victor Hill, UCLA alumnus, running the company he acquired through a self-funded search
🤝 Rishi Sharma, UCLA alumnus, who has just closed the acquisition of his company

🗓️ We will also walk through our plan for the year, including upcoming events, speaker sessions, and opportunities to get involved.

Whether you are already committed to searching or simply curious about the path, we would love to see you there! Please register at the link above so we can plan accordingly. We will share the room details with registered attendees as soon as they are confirmed. 📬

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday! 🙌
