The Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) Discovery Cohort provides curated opportunities for students at Chicago Booth to explore ETA. This program is open to Chicago Booth MBA students, Master in Finance, and Master in Management students. Participation in the ETA Discovery Cohort serves as the next step for students who are considering ETA career paths.
Interested students can register for the ETA Discovery Cohort for the fall and/or winter quarters. The Cohorts are open to all students exploring ETA who can commit to active participation and attendance at three mandatory Cohort events: an ETA educational workshop, a Discovery Talk, and a Cohort lunch facilitated by a Polsky EIR Alex Hodgkin.
Additional opportunities may be provided, such as mentorship meetings with Visiting ETA Advisors. Discovery Talks, workshop topics, and Visiting ETA Advisors rotate each quarter to provide students with new programming. Students who sign up for the ETA Discovery Cohort will be given priority if they decide to apply to the ETA Fellows Program in their second MBA year.
