Black Acquire: Networking for Black Entrepreneurs & Acquirers

​Connect with Black entrepreneurs who have acquired a business or are actively pursuing acquisition opportunities.

​Hosted by Black Business Ventures Association (BBVA), Black Acquire is an evening of networking among acquirers, alongside potential partners, collaborators and co-investors.

​Meet peers, exchange acquisition experiences, discuss opportunities and build relationships that can support your next acquisition or the growth of a business you already own. The evening is centred on conversations and connections among people in the room.

​Leave with new peer connections and perspectives from other acquirers to help inform your next acquisition or the growth of your existing business.
