Raj Patel
Raj is a lifelong entrepreneur in search of his next adventure. He created Eno Succession to acquire one business and grow it sustainably over many years.
Raj began his career as a software engineer at GE Healthcare and eventually became the company's youngest lead product manager. Concurrently, he also founded and operated a successful financial planning business with over $25 million in assets under management. When it came time to sell his business, he couldn't find a buyer who would care for all his clients equally. So, rather than sell to a single buyer, he spent over a year finding the right home for each of his clients individually. With Eno Succession, he hopes to be the sole buyer that he never had -- a trusted successor to a business owner who cares deeply about doing right by their employees, customers, and community.
Outside of work, Raj enjoys hiking, rock climbing, skiing, and spending quality time with family and friends. When Raj is not climbing up a mountain or skiing down one, you can find him enduring the chronic pain of Carolina Panthers football fandom or fervently cheering on the Duke basketball team as they pursue their next NCAA title.

Our Process
Week 1
Intro Call
Give Raj a call at 206-235-8525 or email him at raj@enosuccession.com. We are always excited to meet and learn from successful entrepreneurs. Information you share is always confidential. In the initial call, we’ll talk at a high level about your business and your goals.
Week 2
Meet In-Person
Tired of Zoom? Us too. We are ready to hop on a plane and come meet with you in-person to learn more about your business and your goals. Around this time, we will request basic financial information about the business, which will help us communicate a ballpark value for your business.
Week 3
Letter of Intent
During this process, we may request additional information about the company. If we are interested in moving forward, we’ll submit a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) that lays out the key terms of our partnership.
We will work together to agree on terms and sign the LOI. Our goal is to arrive at a price and structure that is favorable for you.
Weeks 4-15
Due Diligence
After an LOI is signed, we start the legal documentation process. During this time, we will also continue to learn more about the business and complete our final diligence. You will get transparency and authenticity from us throughout the process.
Week 16
Close + Celebrate!
On the day of closing, we will sign final docs, wire you funds, and celebrate together! A post-close plan will be in place to seamlessly transition the company forward.
