There is a pathway for everyone when it comes to buying, owning, and operating Texas businesses. 💼

Last week, Mays Business School hosted the inaugural Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) Forum. This exclusive event brought together accomplished Texas business owners and operators, including Dan Tinker ’96 (who just sold SRS Distribution Inc. for $18.25B), Curtis Feeny ’79, Robin Alex ’07, and other Aggie leaders. Speakers shared insights on how top-tier students can build legitimate, lucrative careers by acquiring, owning, and operating existing businesses.

In Texas, where thousands of small and medium-sized businesses need succession plans and ownership transitions are happening at scale, the Mays ETA Forum creates a vital connection between current and former students seeking meaningful entrepreneurial pathways and business leaders building the future of Texas commerce. 👍
