Acquisition Lab is built for professionals who intend to acquire and operate a business in the next 12–24 months.
The application process helps us understand whether the Lab is aligned with your goals.
Complete an application below with details about your acquisition goals and capital readiness.
We review every submission carefully to determine whether candidates are a good fit for the Lab’s standards and structure.
After submitting your application, an existing Lab member will reach out to discuss your background, plans, and resources.
This isn’t a sales call. You’ll be speaking with a Lab member from our selection council for a peer-level discussion about your acquisition strategy and long-term goals.
Regardless of whether you receive an invite after that call, you’ll get actionable guidance for your acquisition journey.
We’re committed to cutting through the misinformation in the ETA space and giving you an unfiltered, realistic perspective, including the risks and downsides associated with acquisition ownership.
During your strategy conversation, our team will be assessing alignment and determining whether the Lab is a good fit.
If your goals and readiness align with what the Lab can offer, you’ll receive an invitation to join.
If not, we’ll point you toward free resources that can better support your journey. Candidates who don’t qualify are welcome to reapply at a later date.
The Lab unites community, capital, and capability into a system built specifically for acquisition entrepreneurs.
We provide a clear framework from sourcing and beyond close, so Lab members are never alone in their acquisition journey.
While most ETA programs only offer information, the Lab provides structured support for sourcing, underwriting, financing, and transition.
Acquisition Lab was built by entrepreneurs who have evaluated, closed, and operated their own acquired businesses.
If you think the Lab is right for you, submit an application to begin the evaluation process.
A member of our team will be in touch.
