Austin Searchers – Where Are the Best Meetups?
I recently relocated to Austin and am looking to get more involved in the local ETA / search fund / SMB acquisition community.
I'm interested in meeting:
* Searchers (traditional and self-funded)
* Business buyers and operators
* Independent sponsors
* Search fund investors
* SMB owners who have acquired businesses
* Lenders, brokers, and advisors active in the ETA ecosystem
What are the best meetups, networking groups, conferences, happy hours, or recurring events in Austin for people who want to buy and operate businesses?
I'd especially love recommendations for groups that attract serious operators and acquisition entrepreneurs rather than general startup networking.
If you're in Austin and active in ETA, feel free to comment or send me a message. Always looking to meet good people in the community.
Thanks in advance!
