Happy to share that the M&A Club of Canada has partnered with McGill University's Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship to launch a new open-market ETA program. First cohort starts Summer 2026.
Phase I covers the foundations of acquisition: strategy, finance, operations, investment thesis, search process, and deal structuring. Phase II is a hands-on lab where participants pursue live acquisitions with mentorship and direct access to investors, lenders, and transaction professionals from our national network.
The program is open to independent professionals, executives, and aspiring searchers outside a formal MBA framework.
Would love to connect with anyone in the ETA / search fund community who wants to learn more or get involved. DM for more info
