Description

Hosted by Greater Lafayette Commerce, MatchBox, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation Business ownership doesn't always begin with a startup. Every year, successful businesses are ready for new leadership, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to acquire and grow established companies. Trusted advisors and community connectors play a vital role in making those transitions possible. Greater Lafayette Commerce and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) invite you to join us for an engaging lunchtime conversation focused on Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). This collaborative event will explore how advisors and community partners can help strengthen Indiana's entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting business owners planning for succession with aspiring entrepreneurs looking to acquire an existing business. Attendees will gain practical insights into the ETA model, hear firsthand perspectives from experienced professionals, and learn how collaborative networks can preserve local businesses, retain jobs, and foster long-term economic growth.
