KELLOGG MBA STUDENT ACTIVELY SEEKING TO ACCELERATE UP THE ETA LEARNING CURVE

Hi SearchFunder community -- by way of introduction, my name is Josh Weiner, a current full-time MBA student who is actively seeking to accelerate up the ETA learning curve. 

I've been doing a bunch of independent research, attended the HBS conference this past weekend, and am having conversations in/out of my network. Right now, I find myself most drawn to the incubated search model. 

Nice to meet you all, and look forward to immersing myself in this awesome community.

Hey Josh! I'm an MBA at Ross. In addition to networking, I also recommend reading Buy Then Build and HBR's Guide to Buying a Small Business. Both are great books that answered a lot of my qustions.

Hi Josh, glad to hear another fellow Wildcat looking into ETA! There are a lot of resources and the Kellogg ETA network is very wide and helpful. As a first stop you should speak with Alex Schneider (I assume you've already done this). However, since you are interested in the incubator model I recommend you reach out to the teams at A111 (https://accelerator111.com/) and Halstatt (http://www.halstattlegacy.com/). Both are fairly easy to reach through their websites but if I can be of any help please don't hesitate to DM me.

How was the ETA conference? I didn't find it in time and it looks like they don't record it.

ETA conference was fantastic. I only learned of it days before, but glad I did. Have seen some good threads on it here, but if I can be of any specific assistance (e.g. notes) feel free to let me know.

There's not really much of a learning curve in the traditional sense because each company and deal is so unique. Just follow the HBR Guide and you should be fine.
