20 Feb Acquiring Minds: How I bought a $2 Million Dog Training Business | Chirag Shah
Chirag Shah felt unfulfilled in his trajectory as a product manager in the tech world and eventually turned his sights to acquisition entrepreneurship. He had tried entrepreneurial ventures before, and while they didn’t blossom into successful businesses, they whet his appetite. He got serious about buying a business when his wife became pregnant, at which time he joined the Acquisition Lab and systematically began outreach to business brokers in search of a business to buy. Ultimately he found a business that he coincidentally had almost been a customer of: a dog training business near his home in Austin, Texas, that was doing about $2 million in annual sales with $600k SDE. He and his wife acquired it in October 2022.
