Redefining Ownership
 Revolutionizing the System

Our WAEE (Our Women’s Acquisition Entrepreneur Ecosystem) is more than just a community. It’s a launchpad for bold women acquiring and growing small businesses.

We’re building an ecosystem where women buy businesses, then scale them, exit them, and reinvest into the next generation of female entrepreneurs.

Whether you're gearing up for your first acquisition or expanding your growing portfolio, Our WAEE surrounds you with the real-world insights, strategic frameworks, and the high-impact connections you need to thrive.

This is about more than business ownership.
This is about shifting power.

Join a movement where equity, influence, and wealth creation are built into the system.

What is Our WAEE?

We help women become confident business buyers, operators, CEOs, and investors.

Acquiring a company is the first step. Fully becoming the woman you know you were always meant to be is the goal. Your ambition. Your empire. Your way. 

You weren’t meant to follow someone else’s playbook.

Most acquisition frameworks were built by and for men. They often leave women second-guessing their instincts, translating language that doesn’t fit, and trying to navigate capital conversations from the outside.

Our WAEE is here to change that. We offer a strategic, woman-centered path into small business acquisition that honors how you lead, how you think, and the life you’re building.

What Makes Us Different

  • A complete, end-to-end support system
  • Real-time cohort-based learning with other women actively searching
  • Expert access: legal, financial, operational, and capital specialists
  • Monetization models that fund your search as you grow
  • Access to trusted capital without giving up control
  • Post-close support as you scale, operate, or exit

We don’t give you a checklist. We help you build the capacity to lead with clarity and close with confidence.

What We Believe

  • Ownership is a path to freedom
  • Autonomy is worth building
  • Women thrive in high-trust, high-accountability environments
  • You don’t need to do it alone, and you don’t need to change who you are to win

Our WAEE is where highly capable women become exceptional entrepreneurs. Welcome to your next chapter.

To Empower Women in ETA

Our mission is to create a more equitable environment for women in entrepreneurship through acquisition by providing a supportive ecosystem of resources, education, and mentorship to help more self-funded searchers successfully acquire and grow small businesses.


 We're dedicated to building a diverse & inclusive community that inspires and enables women to achieve their full potential as acquisition entrepreneurs.

My experience with Our WAEE has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who was deeply involved in search and ETA, I've experienced firsthand how isolating and challenging this journey can be especially as a woman navigating a space that's male-dominated and frankly, just not made for us in mind.

Our WAEE isn't just a community; it's an ecosystem of support, growth, and empowerment. I desperately was in need of connection with other women who just got it and when I stumbled upon Our WAEE, it changed my search for the better. Beki has created a space where women in ETA can connect authentically, share insights, and lift each other up while pursuing ambitious goals. I have laughed, I have cried, I have vented, and I have made some pretty big life decisions and pivots all because of my involvement in this community.

The value of being part of this community is truly immeasurable. I've gained mentorship, collaboration, and a network that fuels both my personal and professional growth. I can say with confidence that Our WAEE has not only enhanced my ETA journey but has also reminded me of the power of community, shared knowledge, and genuine connection.

If you are a woman in the business acquisition space, I highly recommend joining Our WAEE.


Beki Darlin (The Founder) is a wealth of knowledge and an advocate for women in this space. I've had the pleasure of getting to know her over the last year and being involved in Our WAEE and trust me when I say, this is the perfect place for women to be.


Beki encourages us to use the natural talent and power that we have as women to reach our goals without feeling the need to "do it just like men".


As a woman, I feel empowered and supported every time I step into the virtual and physical rooms of Our WAEE.


Beki created a safe space for us to discuss real situations in acquisitions. 


So between the educational workshops her and her resources put on, the expertise she brings with a human touch, and the community of women, I highly recommend joining her memberships in some capacity.


The education and community she is bringing to acquisitions will change how women search and acquire businesses, for the better
