Charlotte ETA Meetup x Alex Smereczniak of Franzy

🎄 Special Guest Announcement! 🎄
We’re excited to welcome Alex Smereczniak, Charlotte-based serial entrepreneur and the co-founder & CEO of Franzy, as our featured speaker at this year’s Charlotte ETA Holiday Meetup!

Alex previously co-founded 2ULaundry and LaundroLab, scaling the business from a college startup to a national franchise brand with over 100 units sold. Now, he’s building Franzy—a tech platform that’s been called the Zillow for Franchising—with a mission to help more people become business owners by making franchise discovery and funding more transparent, accessible, and aligned.

He’ll be sharing lessons from his own journey, why ETA and franchising are more connected than you might think, and how Franzy is helping the next generation of operators find their perfect fit.

🎁 Come for the insights, stay for the ugly sweaters, and don’t miss this chance to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and searchers!

📆 The Charlotte ETA Meetup is held on the first Wednesday of every month. This is a casual and low-key event to get to know the Charlotte ETA community better. This is suited for those new to Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition or seasoned investors. We discuss people's past experiences in acquisitions, startups, and the corporate world across various industries.

💪Collectively, the search community is a powerful one. Both the process of looking for a business and operating one post-acquisition can be an incredibly challenging road.

🥩I will arrive early at Noble Smoke and set up for us. We are so fortunate to have great partners with Noble Smoke who reserve the space for our purpose.

🤝 Networking, then a panel discussion or interview, followed by more networking. Acquisition entrepreneurship is a fabulous space.

Small Business. Acquisitions. And Entrepreneurship.
