Black Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Incubator
The first Canadian and first Black-focused incubator in the search fund world. We are expanding Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition to the new generation.
The Alternative Path to Entrepreneurship
BETA-i was created with one goal in mind: to help Black searchers and CEOs succeed!
Do you have the inner desire and persistence to become an entrepreneurial leader but don’t want the risk of starting a business from scratch? No worries – there is an alternative path.
Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) allows aspiring entrepreneurs to search for, acquire, operate, grow, and lead an established business. If you have the motivation and determination to acquire and run an established business, we’re designed for you! Become part of the new generation of Black entrepreneurs.
We provide our searchers and CEOs with incomparable advising, coaching, and support. You will work with other brilliant entrepreneurs and have access to a team of professionals and advisors dedicated to your success. Our capital partners, together with selected investment funds, provide the equity investment that is needed and is committed to your success.
