Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition
This elite program is designed to provide support to second year MBA students who are seeking to search for and acquire a business upon graduation. This can be accomplished via the search fund model, as an independent sponsor, through a family office, or otherwise.
Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) is now additionally a dedicated track in Zell Entrepreneurs Program. In addition to your coursework in ES 516, you can apply to the Zell Entrepreneurs ETA Track to receive funds and mentorship to pursue a search fund now or in the future. Please apply to this program via the Zell Entrepreneurs program page.
