Deal Flow: Spring Social
What does Spring mean in the Lower Middle Market? Pipeline is moving. Owners are thinking about exits. Buyers are off to the races. And the people closing deals are ready to get in a room together.
That's the spirit behind the DealFlow: Spring Social — a curated evening on the private lakeside terrace at Fogo de Chão in Thousand Oaks, designed for M&A professionals, capital partners, and business owners operating in the lower middle market. No panels. No slides. No keynotes. Just the right people, a beautiful setting, and real conversations.
About the Event
The DealFlow Spring Social brings together a deliberate mix of PE investors, independent sponsors, M&A advisors, and founder-operators for an evening built around one thing: relationships that turn into transactions. Sub-$200M platform plays, founder secondaries, add-ons, and roll-ups — this is the conversation happening on the patio.
Space is capped at 50. Every registration is reviewed to protect the quality of the room.
