Event Specialist

Meet ACQ: At Acquisition.com, we’re a team of entrepreneurs on a mission to make real business education available to everyone. There are 34 million small and medium businesses in the United States. They’re the backbone of the economy, but many will never reach their full potential because the education available to them is outdated, impractical, and built for classrooms instead of companies. We’re fixing that by giving founders and business owners the tools, knowledge, and support they need to grow. The proof is in our results: Built an Advisory Practice that’s already served more than 3,500 clients in its first year Broke the world record for non-fiction book sales in 24 hours with $100M Money Models Scaled to nine figures in 18 months without any outside capital We believe in high standards, hard work, and helping others win. If that resonates, you’ll feel at home here. Role: Are you ready to be the powerhouse behind the scenes, helping execute seamless events that leave a lasting impact?
