Hi everyone! I’m excited to officially begin my ETA journey as a Solo Searcher focused on acquiring and operating a manufacturing or logistics business.

I first learned about ETA while earning my MBA at Kellogg and have been energized by the prospect ever since. With a background in mechanical and process engineering, combined with experience leading large-scale operations at Amazon Logistics and business operations roles at Amazon Music and Amazon Studios, I’m eager to apply my skills to build and grow a lower middle-market business.

As I’m just getting started, I’d greatly appreciate any advice, resources, or book recommendations that have helped you on your own ETA path. Looking forward to connecting and learning from this community!

Anonymous - generic posts of this sort generally don't get a lot of engagement on Searchfunder. People click on titles, so it helps to be as specific as you can with each posts. Topics move independently on Searchfunder, so its generally best to cover one topic per post. Here are a few post ideas that are more likely to get the conversations you seek started: 1). Anyone else interested in Manufacturing & Logistics? 2). Any other Mechanical Engineers out there? 3). What are the best books for getting started in ETA/Search? 4). Kellogg MBA Seeking Internship You get the idea! We are here to help :-)
