Kellogg School of Management

About

Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University has built a notable presence in the ETA space through its entrepreneurship and finance curriculum. The school offers courses touching on small business acquisition, private equity operations, and entrepreneurial management. Kellogg's Entrepreneurship Club includes members focused on search funds who organize events with investors and alumni searchers. The school's collaborative culture and team-based learning approach are well-suited to the search fund path, where relationship-building and leadership are critical. The Kellogg ETA community benefits from Chicago's position as a major financial center with access to search fund investors, lenders, and advisors. Graduates have launched search funds across a range of industries, with particular strength in services and healthcare businesses across the Midwest and nationally.
