ETA Connect November 2026

​ETA Connect is a meetup for people interested in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition — buying a business instead of starting one from scratch.

​This month we meet in the afternoon at Yard House in North Hills. Whether you're actively searching for a deal, quietly running the numbers, or already own the business, this is a low-key place to meet others walking the same path.

​Who it's for

• ​Searchers actively looking at deals

• ​First-time buyers running the numbers

• ​Owners who've already been through a close

• ​Lenders, brokers, CPAs and advisors who work with all of the above

​What to expect No pitches, no panels. Just honest conversation about deal flow, financing, diligence, and what running the thing actually looks like after you close.

​Not for you if you're looking to start a business from scratch or to sell services to the room. Come for the conversation.

• ​When: Thursday, November 12 · 4:00 – 6:00 PM

• ​Where: Yard House Raleigh · 4208 Six Forks Rd, Raleigh, NC 27609 (North Hills)
