Background: I’m a full-time searcher looking for a business to acquire but I'm also building a Houston-based acquisition entrepreneur community called ETA Circle. I spoke with all 150+ searchers who have signed up for previous events to hear what everyone wanted in a meetup group, what they are searching for, and how the group can help. From those conversations, I created ETA Circle for us searchers to meet other searchers and share advice, experiences and deals that don't fit our focus industry or deal size.
