For two decades the DFW Private Equity Forum (DFWPEF) has fostered interaction, communication and the common interests of private equity and venture capital investment firms in North Texas. Today our organization includes over 50 principal investment firms represented by over 350 investment professionals.
We provide our members opportunities to develop stronger personal and professional relationships and exchange information and ideas through a series of sponsored events and programming that offer direct value by responding to market dynamics our members encounter every day.
Memberships are held at the firm level, and cover all employees of the member firm. Employees of member firms may register for an individual account in order to have access to the membership directory and register for DFWPEF events.
We invite you to become a member of our organization today.
