Founder Testimonials
"ETA has been essential to my journey, introducing me to the concept of entrepreneurship through acquisition. Post launch, they have been excellent and active sources of advice, insights, information and feedback. Their direct, transparent feedback was appreciated, and I always knew where things stood with ETA Equity."
"During the search, Matt and Mark were helpful sounding boards, and their guidance on industry theses and deal opportunities saved me lots of potentially wasted time. ETA Equity was responsive, thoughtful, and supportive throughout all phases including search fundraising, sourcing, LOI negotiations, due diligence, debt/equity raise, and seller negotiations."
