Our next networking dinner will be held at a special location: Champions Run Country Club (13800 Eagle Run Drive).
The meeting will feature a Private Equity Professionals Panel. The panelists include representatives of three active private equity funds:

The panelists will discuss the state of the national and local private equity markets, the financial and valuation metrics they evaluate, their investment criteria, and the other nuances of getting a private equity transaction across the finish line. The panel will be moderated by John Gustafson of Ideation Ventures. The panel format will include introductory remarks, questions from the moderator, and plenty of time for Q&A with the audience.
