## At a Glance

- Club: No club that Rice Jones publishes.
- Money: The Rice Entrepreneurship Acquisitions Fund, whose alumni investment partners supply equity capital and subordinated debt so a buyer can meet a senior lender's requirement on an SBA or other acquisition loan. No amount is published, and the school is explicit that finding and qualifying the business is the buyer's own work first.
- Conference: No conference that Rice Jones publishes.
- Its own page: https://business.rice.edu/rice-entrepreneurship-acquisitions-lab

## The Classes

None published in the school's own catalog.

## What It Publishes for Anyone

- A public roster of the Acquisitions Fund's alumni investment partners, which is a readable list of who supplies the equity and subordinated debt a senior lender asks for.
- Success stories from the fund, each naming the buyer and the business bought, open to anyone rather than to enrolled students.

## What Else It Runs

- The Rice Entrepreneurship Acquisitions Lab, which the school says lets students and alumni "jump start their search for a business to buy" with access to mentors, professional advisors, debt financing, investors and a sounding board of peers.
