RDU ETA Connect is a morning coffee for people interested in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition — buying a business instead of starting one from scratch. ​Whether you're actively searching for a deal, quietly running the numbers, or just curious what it takes to own a small business, this is a low-key place to meet others walking the same path. ​No pitches. No panels. No speakers. Just coffee and honest conversation about deal flow, financing, diligence, and what running the thing actually looks like after you close. ​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, and advisors who work with all of the above ​The curious — no commitment required ​Format ​Show up, grab a coffee, talk to people. That's it. Come and go as your morning allows. ​Good to know ​Free to attend. Coffee is on us — grab whatever you like at the counter.
