Session 2: Structuring – 2/28/26

Shift from big‑picture exploration into the nuts and bolts of how your search will actually be set up and run.

In Session 2, we’ll cover:

• Fund Organizational Structure
  Explore the common ways EtA searches are structured (traditional fund, self‑funded, accelerator/incubator/EIR, hybrids) and what they mean for control, economics, and day‑to‑day reality. You’ll start to see which structures may fit your goals and constraints.

• Sourcing & Search Method (Deeper Dive)
  Connect your chosen (or likely) search model to practical sourcing strategies—how you’ll find deals, who you’ll reach out to, and how to manage your time and pipeline without burning out.

By the end of this session, you’ll be better able to:

• Establish a strong, realistic organizational structure as a foundation for your search,

• Develop more efficient sourcing strategies to identify and pursue promising opportunities, and

• Deepen your understanding of how different search methods actually play out in practice.
