ACG FundSource is sold out.
ACG Boston is introducing an exclusive networking event at this summer's annual Growth Conference aimed specifically at connecting emerging sponsors with sources of junior capital. We are reaching out to a select group of well-known and experienced sponsors, most of whom are actively seeking to acquire businesses without using committed capital, in order to provide them with the opportunity to meet with prospective financing sources in brief, pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings. It is an exclusive venue that will pair these sponsors with those private equity firms, mezzanine firms, hedge funds and one-stop financing sources that are specifically targeting these "fundless sponsors" as a valued deal source and investing partner.
With quality, proprietary deal flow a key issue for junior capital providers, fundless sponsors have become a growing source of deal flow for many private equity and mezzanine firms. Many of these firms are eager to build their networks among this small, but increasingly influential, universe of deal sources. Similarly, for fundless sponsors, finding the right firm to partner with in their transactions is critical to their success, both in closing the transaction at hand and in creating long term value. ACG Boston seeks to provide you with the opportunity to build upon your financing source network in a highly targeted fashion at this year's premier deal networking event, the ACG Growth Conference.
Details are below, but we encourage you to register early! We have already discussed the FundSource concept with several of the most established fundless sponsors, as well as with those capital sources whose business plans include backing fundless sponsors on transactions, and the interest level has been very high.
How will FundSource work?
Similar to its sister DealSource concept designed for investment banks and private equity firms, FundSource will utilize a speed dating concept. Fundless sponsors will occupy tables for up to 2 hours, and during that time may conduct as many as 8 interviews with potential capital partners who have signed up in advance. The fundless sponsors will select their desired appointments from the list of capital providers that have committed to participate, and each interview session will last 15 minutes. Sign up today, as space is limited to only 20 tables.
How do I get a table at FundSource?
Fundless sponsors can register for a table online by emailing lwhittet@acgboston.org. Table registration will be $395, and will also include one ticket for the ACG Boston Growth Conference as well as access to the exclusive private equity and investment banker reception the evening before the conference (there is more detail below). Capital sources that are interested in participating in FundSource will sign up as participants, and then you, the fundless sponsor, will set up meetings online with the capital sources of your choice based on the list of interested firms. ACG Boston will provide each participant with the schedule of meetings and participant contact information two weeks before the Growth Conference begins.
