I work with the Mayor's Office supporting small business in Detroit. I'm really excited about ETA and I'd like to benchmark against other cities. Please share your experience with different cities' business ecosystems during the acquisition process--the good, the bad, and the ugly.

@redacted‌ I have never done a search so I’m no help on this one. The business I am buying through via take-private was brought to me by a friend who owns a sizable portion of the outstanding shares. If this deal falls through I will be searching though!

I’ve been searching since August and have reviewed a good number of deals, I haven’t seen much in Cleveland that fits my buy box. That said, I’m close to submitting an LOI on a local firm so that may change soon. Most of the opportunities I’ve analyzed or pursued seriously have been out of state.
