About us
Welcome to ETA Rotterdam - part of ETA Europe.
This community was created for people who want to buy, operate or grow real small businesses anywhere in Europe. Many new acquirers and operators begin their journey alone. They listen to podcasts, read books and try to figure out the next step without a local group to turn to. ETA Rotterdam fills that gap.
We bring together searchers, operators, investors and advisors who believe in long-term ownership, practical learning and helping each other move forward. The aim is simple: Create a place where people on the same path can meet, learn and support one another.
What members can expect:
- Quarterly events in Rotterdam with real acquirers, operators, and investors
- Special focus on industrial, manufacturing, logistics, and port-related businesses
- Honest conversations about sourcing, valuation, due diligence, financing and operations
- A supportive peer group across Europe that helps members stay accountable and build momentum
- A mix of searchers, operators, small business owners and early stage explorers
- A friendly and relaxed environment with no suits and no corporate language
Who this is for:
Anyone exploring or actively pursuing acquisition entrepreneurship in Europe - regardless of where you're based or where you're searching.
Our members come from: UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, and beyond.
Language: English & Nederlands
