Well Worth It I attended SMBootcamp as part of the November 2023 cohort. My time there was very well spent. I had attended the Self-Funded Search Conference in Dallas, the HBS ETA Conference at Harvard, and had read the books, listened to the podcasts, and even interviewed many Searchers and Investors. However, the difference between all of that and SMBootcamp is that it puts theory into practice. Every question I had was answered, I was able to raise issues that were personal to me in my Search and gain clarity, and I left with a full Deal Team as well as all of the information and resources/templates etc. I need to close a deal. Search is such a personal endeavor, and having the support, resources, and connections (and an incredible, vetted cohort) is just next level. Gaining the confidence and competence needed isn't straightforward in the SMB M&A world. However, what Sam has built here will get you there. No regrets, and time and money well spent.

SMBoot Camp Is the Knowledge you Need for ETA SMBoot camp is the most relevant information you can find on how to purchase a business with investors in the ETA (entrepreneurship through acquisition) space. It was a pleasure to be a part of such an amazing cohort of future business owners. Sam Rosati has created an exceptional plan of action.

I attended this bootcamp in December I attended this bootcamp in December. It far exceeded my expectations. The network, and information that I’ve gained was far more valuable then the cost. Sam and his team really know their stuff and I highly recommend him this to anyone interested in self funding an aquisition.

Very practical workshop in a small group setting The workshop covered a very practical step by step process to buy a business. I particularly liked the small group setting (our cohort was 20 searchers) as it felt very interactive. We had several business owners who recently acquired companies came to speak and some of them are past attendees of this bootcamp.

The ETA SMB Course to attend Excellent framework of content provided by arguably some of the best in the ETA (self-funded searcher) world. I have paid for and been through a couple of “mastermind” courses but this is the one-stop shop for one who seriously aspires to acquire and operate a legacy business.
