ETA Bootcamp:

Plan Your Search

 

Tactical Instruction from Deal-Makers

Work directly with the professionals who live and breathe ETA—investors, brokers, operators, lawyers, and lenders who’ve closed deals in Canada. You won’t just learn what to do—you’ll learn how to do it, from people who’ve done it themselves.

A Built-For-Action Learning Model

This hybrid program is designed to move you into your active search. You will learn how to define your ideal target company, establish your process to source deals, and interpret key financial elements to decide whether a deal is worth deeper due diligence or better left behind.

A Search Community That Gets It

This cohort connects you with others who are in the same position within the acquisition process. You'll exchange deal flow, pressure-test strategies, and get honest insights from peers facing the same decisions you are.

The ETA program provided a clear, practical roadmap for pursuing acquisition. The curriculum was hands-on, the guest speakers shared relevant real-world lessons with openness, and the peer network made the experience even more valuable by asking great questions and offering fresh perspectives.
