HLEP Presents: Entrepreneurship through Acquisition: Search Funds as an Alternate Pathway to Entrepreneurship

Ever dreamed of running your own company but don’t have a startup idea—or don’t want to take on that kind of risk? Enter search funds: a path to entrepreneurship that starts with buying a profitable business. Join Danilo Boavista, Managing Partner of LUZ Capital Partners, for a candid lunch conversation on Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA). A serial entrepreneur from Brazil, former McKinsey Engagement Manager, and Booth MBA, Danilo is now leading a US-based search fund to acquire and operate a small business. He will discuss the fundamentals of the search fund model, how it compares to traditional startup entrepreneurship, and the legal and strategic considerations involved in buying a business. Lunch will be provided.
