“The Deal Connect event was well organized, efficient, and offered a good mix of both familiar faces and new contacts. One of the independent sponsors we were introduced to there (S Group) shared an opportunity with us shortly after our meeting that fit our criteria perfectly. Together, we diligence and successfully closed on that investment within a few months and are off to a great start in our partnership.”
