Buy Then Build: Ditch The Pitch Buy The Business

What if your path to entrepreneurship didn’t start with an idea, a pitch deck, or building from zero? Join Search & Sip and Faison Law during DC Startup & Tech Week for an evening exploring a different route to entrepreneurship: buying an existing business and building from there. We’ll bring together entrepreneurs and operators for a candid fireside chat about the decision to buy vs. build—and what changes when you start with an existing business, customers, employees, and cash flow rather than a blank slate. Whether you're actively searching for a business, building a startup, investing in entrepreneurs, or simply exploring what business ownership could look like, this conversation will offer a practical look at entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) as another path to becoming an owner. Then stick around to meet founders, searchers, operators, investors, lenders, advisors, and others across the DMV entrepreneurship community.Sponsors: Faison Law, Focus Social Club
