Private-equity communities
Private-equity and deal communities include the industry's trade associations, the limited-partner body, chapter-based associations for the middle-market deal community, and platforms for search-fund entrepreneurs and independent sponsors. Individual membership is usually open to anyone working in the industry and priced accordingly; the more selective bodies are those for women investors and for institutional limited partners, which publish role tests. Chapter networks such as ACG run local events in most of the cities this site tracks.
