ETA@MIT is MIT's hub for search funds and
micro private equity

ETA@MIT brings together business owners, private investors, advisors, alumni and students to discuss acquiring and running small companies, with an emphasis on search funds and micro private equity. We foster a supportive community within MIT aimed at accelerating students’ progress towards launching their own fund by providing introductions to investors, advisors and internship opportunities, as well as by conducting educational and networking events. Our signature event, the ETA@MIT Summit, is held each spring at MIT Sloan and is open to the public.
