ETA Connect November 2026

ETA Connect is a meetup for people interested in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition — buying a business instead of starting one from scratch.

This month we meet in the afternoon at Yard House in North Hills. Whether you're actively searching for a deal, quietly running the numbers, or already own the business, this is a low-key place to meet others walking the same path.

Who it's for

Searchers actively looking at deals

First-time buyers running the numbers

Owners who've already been through a close

Lenders, brokers, CPAs and advisors who work with all of the above

What to expect No pitches, no panels. Just honest conversation about deal flow, financing, diligence, and what running the thing actually looks like after you close.

Not for you if you're looking to start a business from scratch or to sell services to the room. Come for the conversation.
