“Since its founding, Exponent has been an organization through which I’ve consistently met highly talented, driven women in the deal world. I find the events to be thoughtful, relevant and action-oriented which has resonated even more recently in this virtual environment.”

“Exponent was one of the most well facilitated events I have had the honor to be a panelist on. I also really enjoyed the more casual environment which fostered more meaningful connections.”

“Having the opportunity to hear from others in the thick of M&A – buy side, sell side and financing – provides a unique perspective. These women all want to support each other and sharing trends in the rapidly changing market is a great way to do that.”

“ I have experienced Exponent’s women’s events to be well attended, organized and helpful! This is a great community of women to be involved in. I have developed significant relationships With women who not only support me professionally, but are women who I learn from and admire.”

“Exponent is refreshing: it’s an ‘activated’ network. The organization encourages follow-ups, and members follow through. A very direct pathway to sharing ideas and supporting each other, helpful for your day-do-day business through to longer-term considerations including such as career decisions.”

“During the pandemic, virtual networking has become absolutely critical as a means to communicate, share ideas, and network within the Private Equity/deal making ecosystem. As an executive recruiter in the middle market private equity space, I have found Exponent Women to be an invaluable community of women in which to gain insightful market knowledge and network. Exponent’s events and webinars are always well attended by a diverse group of professionals. The content is consistently meaningful, thoughtful and timely, well moderated by deeply experienced executives. The format of the events is organized and leaves room for small group connections. I appreciate that the members are extremely supportive of one another and are both encouraged to - and actually do - make the effort to follow through with one on one meetings. Almost all meetings end with the questions – how can I help you? Who can I introduce you to? I have made significant relationships from the Exponent events that not only support me professionally, but are women that I learn from and admire, that have also become personal friends.”

“I have known the Exponent team for some years now through our various industry activities, and I have to say, I find it easily the most useful women’s networking group I belong to. The mission is explicit—let’s try to do/facilitate business with one another. The tenor of the relationships formed is full of positive momentum. Let’s get to know each other and get moving! Sometimes that means doing an actual deal together, sometimes it means an introduction to someone else, sometimes it is brainstorming about work, careers, life. It is a meaningful compliment to what I do every day; I appreciate the power of all that positive energy.”
