Southeast Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference
In partnership with UVA’s Darden School of Business, Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, and UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, Duke hosts this annual conference to guide participants through the process of finding and acquiring a business, including how to gain investments.
Honestly, had I not come to Duke, I would have accomplished 10% of what I have this past year. I have taken it upon myself to sign up for every possible I&E opportunity and to learn from everyone along the way—students, professors, mentors, and people in the community. I have always felt that everyone is invested in my success, and this includes my classmates.
