Built for the Texas Independent Sponsor Ecosystem

The Independent Sponsor Summit Dallas brings together the independent sponsors, capital providers, family offices, lenders, operators, and founders who are actively driving dealmaking across the broader Texas market.

Built specifically for the Texas lower middle market, this summit focuses on the region’s unique deal dynamics, from industrial and services-heavy dealflow to founder-led businesses, operator-driven platforms, and a deep, relationship-oriented capital base.

Join us on June 11th in Dallas to connect with the local deal community, build meaningful relationships, and engage in the conversations shaping the next wave of independent sponsor activity across Texas.

What Makes This Summit Different

A Texas-First Focus
