ACG DFW Dallas Dealmakers December Program

ACG DFW’s Dallas Dealmakers December Program is Wednesday, December 2, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM at Park City Club, 5956 Sherry Lane. The format is Deal or No Deal? Is the Price Right?—an interactive Deal Auction. Each table becomes a deal team, evaluates a mock deal as details unfold, and bids; closest valuation to the real price takes the trophy. Presenters are Brendan Achariyakosol, founder and managing member of Evolute Capital (Dallas middle-market PE; UT Austin undergrad and McCombs MBA), and Jared Behnke, managing director and founding partner at Transitus Capital, with more than $12 billion in completed transactions across M&A, equity capital markets, leveraged finance, and related work. Regular pricing through December 1 at 11:59 PM Central is $80 members and $120 nonmembers; on-site jumps to $85 / $125, plus the 3% card fee.

This is the Dallas-side evening after the Fort Worth lunch on November 10. Same ACG DFW membership, different game—tables compete on price instead of sitting through a GF Data slide deck. The December 9 High Stakes Holiday Party returns to Park City Club for cocktails and an Austin Street Center drive; December 2 is the valuation night. Series capacity sits near 100 on the chapter calendar.

If you can work a mock CIM at a table and care how Evolute or Transitus would actually mark a growth deal, register while regular pricing holds. Email acgdfw@acg.org if the cart stalls. Come with one diligence or capital-stack question ready for the room.

Sherry Lane from Uptown or Plano needs evening buffer before 4:30. Park City Club will want the name on your ticket at the door.
