Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) Fireside Chat with USC Marshall Alumni Powerhouses

Are you interested in buying, operating, and scaling a business as the CEO? Do you want to explore opportunities in search funds, private equity investments, operations, or mergers and acquisitions? Join us for an exclusive ETA Fireside Chat featuring three powerhouse USC Marshall alumni who have successfully acquired, built, and exited companies.

Moderated by Dustin Sellers, a leader in the search fund community who generated a 22x return on his acquisition of ProService, scaling it from $13M to over $200M in revenue before selling at a $300M+ valuation, with panelist Chris Lueck, former CEO of FastSpring, where he grew ARR from $8M to $30M before the company was acquired by Accel-KKR, and panelist Raj Mahajan, former CEO of ProPoint Solutions and founder of Jaan Capital, who successfully ran and sold SuperSalon to Zenoti after six years as CEO, delivering a meaningful return to investors. Under his leadership, ARR doubled within four years.

They will share their firsthand experiences in search fund acquisitions, scaling operations, and executing successful exits. Whether you're considering raising a search fund, acquiring a business, operating a business, or exploring private equity and M&A, this discussion will provide invaluable insights, practical strategies, and real-world lessons from top industry leaders. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge, connect with successful entrepreneurs, and get inspired to carve your own path in ETA.
