Join us for an intensive 3-hour practicum on
Entrepreneurship through Acquisition: Valuing and Acquiring Small Businesses
Astana | August 7, 2025 | 17:00–20:00
Led by Dr. David T. Robinson, Fuqua School of Business (Duke University)
Price: 60.000 KZT
Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) is a powerful and increasingly popular path to business
ownership - one that involves identifying, acquiring, and scaling small, established businesses.
Instead of launching a risky startup, ETA allows entrepreneurs to step into an operating company
and take it to the next level.
What you will learn:
● Understand the strategic rationale and financial mechanics behind ETA;
● Distinguish ETA from traditional start-ups and private equity buyouts;
● Analyze a target company’s cash flow and estimate enterprise value using multiple valuation
techniques;
● Evaluate deal terms, financing structures, and stakeholder incentives from both buyer and
seller perspectives.
This in-person session blends theory and practice through mini-lectures, a real local case study, collaborative work, and networking over coffee.
Seats are limited.
