Membership in ACG Philadelphia

To join ACG Philadelphia, apply for membership below.  Membership is open to growth company executives and deal professionals who are directly involved in and spend the majority of their time sourcing, financing, or executing M&A transactions at the closing or pre-closing stage.
 
 
Membership in ACG Philadelphia is tightly controlled and offered on an individual basis, not as a firm. Priority is given to private equity firms, corporate acquirers, PE-backed executives, operating partners, and investment bankers.  
 
All other prospective members (including lenders, wealth managers, accountants, attorneys, consultants) must: 1) be part of the M&A professional community versus having an interest in selling to our members, and 2) identify and join with a new corporate, investment banker or private equity member (this excludes applicants joining during enrollment to ACGU).
