Package Description:
A strong investment thesis is the backbone of any successful ETA journey. This package helps you transform your goals and insights into a polished, investor-ready strategy. With expert coaching, you’ll identify the right industries, acquisition criteria, and rationale that set you apart from other searchers. By the end, you’ll be confident in articulating your thesis to investors and using it as your north star throughout the acquisition process.
