Connecting the San Diego PE and Business Community

SDBAIN is San Diego’s first networking group for PE sponsors, capital providers, and businesses. In a community with rich resources for venture capital, biotech, high tech, angel investment, and events that support startups, we created SDBAIN to focus on the private equity community. We bring together independent sponsors, funds, family offices, and capital providers from debt, mezzanine, equity and other professionals. We hope to benefit from each other’s experiences, find mutual opportunities, and eventually work together to host events that feature PE panels that help San Diego business owners understand how our industry can help them grow or exit their businesses.

Meeting, mentoring, sharing resources, coinvesting, and networking among PE sponsors and capital providers…and occasional events with service providers.

Sharing our experiences

Networking gives us an opportunity to mentor to those coming up behind us; and to be mentored by those ahead of us. Let’s grow the PE industry in San Diego together, and all benefit together.

Connecting with Business Owners

We created SDBAIN not only to network, but to share what we do with local San Diego businesses. Owners of companies may reach a point that they want to retire and know more about how PE works.
