How to Own a Business Without Starting One
Entrepreneurship doesn’t always mean building from the ground up. In this brown-bag lunch session at MatchBOX, Pat East and Mikel Berger will introduce Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA), a career path where people buy and grow existing small businesses. We’re keeping it casual and conversation focused, with plenty of space for discussion and Q&A. The goal is to gauge local interest in ETA, share practical insights, and explore the potential for a stronger community around it in Greater Lafayette and beyond.
