The Polsky Center is proud to launch the Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) Fellows Program in the 2024-25 academic year. This program is designed to provide tailored opportunities and resources to Chicago Booth students who plan to enter the ETA space immediately or within a few years of earning their MBA.
Led by faculty advisors Mark Agnew, MBA ’06 and Brian O’Connor, MBA ’08, the ETA Fellows Program runs from October to May and provides students with access to curated opportunities and resources, including educational deep dives on topics relevant to ETA professionals, cohort events and field experiences, 1:1 coaching and mentorship with the ETA Advisory Committee, and a dedicated research and travel budget.
ETA Fellows are selected annually through a competitive application and screening process, which challenges students to articulate information about their ETA career interests, goals, and milestones. Fellows are selected by a committee comprised of Polsky staff, Booth ETA faculty, and external advisors.
