Strategic Management: Routes to Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition

Four entrepreneurs discuss the idea of acquiring a small business as a route to entrepreneurship. The participants took different routes to Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA): search funds, a self-funded search, and a search sponsored by a private equity fund. Each entrepreneur shares his decision making on the right time to take the path of ETA. Participants: Moderator Peter Kelly; David Kennedy, Sean Callahan, Ciaran Power, and Michael Sanabria.

why is there patches of silence in the last 30 minutes or so? The questions are unheard so answer's are a bit harder to grasp then they might be if the question was heard, is it possible to fix this?
