Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Club
The Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Club serves as a resource to students interested in the increasingly popular industry and career path: search funds and entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA). Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, or ETA, is when a person acquires or buys an existing company to own and operate, rather than starting a new company or venture from the start. If using outside capital to purchase the company, the intent is to innovate and grow the purchased company to exit at a target date to return invested funds. A search fund is an investment fund an entrepreneur uses to raise capital in order to search for a company to acquire and run as CEO.
