**The Charlotte ETA Group truly appreciative to introduce our July sponsor [NewCo Risk](https://www.newcorisk.com/)** **and its co-founder [Andy Harbut](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyharbut/).** Business insurance is critical: vitally important, but tremendously headache-inducing. Andy, his co-founder Josh Richman, and NewCo Risk make take that headache away.

**📆 The Charlotte ETA Meetup is held on the first Wednesday** **of every month**. (This one is the 2nd Wednesday to account for the Fourth of July Holiday 🎆). 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.
