The Polsky Center offers a suite of Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) resources designed to provide students and alumni access to the education, capital, mentorship, and resources necessary to acquire and grow a business.
The Visiting Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) Advisors are members of the ETA Advisory Committee and include successful operators, academics, and investors in ETA. They meet with students and alumni virtually or in person to provide guidance, feedback, and career insights.
If you are interested in learning more about ETA, the Polsky Center hosts key events, manages a popular ETA podcast series, and provides access to in-depth resources for ETA.
The ETA Conference, cohosted by Chicago Booth and Kellogg, is the first-of-its-kind event aimed at educating and inspiring students, alumni, and the ETA community. Annually, the conference attracts over 500 attendees, making it the country’s largest ETA conference. Attendees have access to cutting edge insights on funding, searching for, and operating businesses, as well as multiple opportunities for networking.
