Hi Everyone,
SMEVentures is currently putting together a market update on search fund and ETA activity across the APAC region, which we’ll be presenting at the ETA Forum in Sydney this September. Our hope is to create a resource that benefits everyone by providing a clear picture of our growing ecosystem.
To do this well, we need your help. We're trying to connect with all active search funds and ETA entrepreneurs currently operating in APAC.
How you can contribute:
- If you're an active searcher or have acquired a business in APAC who didn’t fill out the 2024 survey, we'd love to hear from you. Could you please comment below or send me a direct message with your email and current status (e.g., actively searching, acquired)?
- If you know other entrepreneurs in the APAC ecosystem, please consider tagging them in this post or sharing it with them.
Your input will help us map the growth of the ETA ecosystem in APAC.
Thank you in advance for your contribution!
