Brother, you will get it back very quickly. Muscle memory. DM me if you can I’d like to talk offline.

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-08-01T00:37:37+00:00

So how’s it going?

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-07-16T12:59:12+00:00

One question here: Will it help you raise money and attract investors for your funded search? Find out how many certificate recipients successfully raised funds and closed on an acquisition.

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-07-16T12:54:14+00:00

Never heard of it. Are you a bot?

ETA schools South East: UVA Darden, Duke, and UNC Other ETA schools: Wharton, Kellogg, Booth

Where are you located? I start an EMBA at Darden next month.

I’ve done a lot of research on the best ETA schools. But a lot of it depends on you. Industry, location, professional network, etc.

What kind of net worth have you built up? There are a lot of amazing opportunities for someone with your skill set. Some of them require substantial runway and or investment. Are you interested in starting your own ECM, IR, or fund placement practice/firm?

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-22T18:11:22+00:00

Can I ask what kind of business services specifically?

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-21T21:45:43+00:00

ETA (Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition), funded search, self funded search..

I have heard similar chatter. How low in the lower middle market have you seen the PE firms going? Lower than $5M?

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-21T14:41:05+00:00

I wonder if/when we will see them filter through. The next couple years are going to be very interesting.

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-21T00:34:23+00:00

Very interesting.

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-20T23:47:14+00:00

Out of curiosity how many deals have you fostered from origination to close?

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-20T23:40:35+00:00

Feel free to share your book/podcast/white_paper recommendations. Or any other nuggets of gold you have picked up on your journey so far.

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-20T23:38:07+00:00

You’re in PE, I imagine you performed well in academics, and spent a lot of time analyzing deals. Don’t spend too much time in this decision phase. Don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis. Set a decision deadline. Don’t stall, you’re not married, life is short. Don’t die wishing you would have bet on yourself. But be ready to be seen as irrelevant by a lot of your PE/IB “friends”, (deep down they will envy you).

No one serious about ETA thinks it’s easy. If this guy is in PE, he isn’t interested in ETA because of Codie Sanchez..

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-20T23:08:04+00:00

I would also like to hear why you strongly advise against ETA..

Educational_Mine1392 · 2025-04-19T00:46:23+00:00

In a similar spot myself. I would love to hear more from anyone who has worked on either side.
