The Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) Group strives to accomplish two principal goals: Educate students and alumni about the entrepreneurship-through-acquisition process and create a community of interested and active industry participants. The ETA Group accomplishes its goals through both educational and experiential programming. The educational events are topical discussions with industry experts detailing each step of the entrepreneurship-through-acquisition process. The experiential portion provides students with the opportunity to source and evaluate live investment targets (either for themselves or a third-party sponsor).
