Houston ETA Meetup: ETA Circle (Acquiring Minds Interview Guest)

Free ETA Houston meetup (searcher-only). Monday August 25. Register at www.ETACircle.com On Monday August 25, Raj will share his unconventional path to acquiring Lone Star Attorney Service—a process-serving and legal support company in Texas. What started with being served legal papers during a personal low point turned into a deep dive into a fragmented, under-the-radar industry. From working as a server himself to owning the very business he joined, Raj’s journey reflects grit, vision, and a belief in the hidden potential of niche service companies. Key topics include: - Finding opportunity in unlikely places—and acting on it - Navigating the emotional and operational realities of becoming an owner - Building a strong relationship with the seller to structure a successful seller-financed deal - Scaling a legacy business in a tech-lagging, mom-and-pop industry - Why litigation support services may be private equity’s next frontier Also, listen to his Acquiring Minds interview with ^redacted‌ here: https://acquiringminds.co/articles/raj-kankaria-lone-star-attorney-services 5pm start.
