Let’s Vote

We’re excited to share that our proposed session for SOCAP25 has advanced to the Community Voting round!

At 40 Million Owners, we’ve witnessed how Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) is reshaping the small business economy. As more investors, searchers, and business owners turn to ETA as a succession solution, the model has grown rapidly—but too often, it leaves workers out of the wealth-creation equation.

Our session, featuring 40 Million Owners’ co-founders Michael Morosi and Mike Brady, will explore how integrating Employee Ownership (EO) into ETA unlocks new possibilities. We’ll showcase practical, scalable approaches that go beyond traditional ETA structures—demonstrating how ETA can deliver both strong financial returns and lasting economic empowerment.

Community voting is open March 31–April 13 and SOCAP25 will take place October 27–29 in San Francisco

If you’re energized by the opportunity to reimagine ETA through employee ownership, we’d be grateful for your vote. And feel free to share with others who believe business transitions can build wealth for all!
