A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Have you ever been to a really good dinner party? There aren’t too many people, but not too few either. The guests come from different walks of life, but they share intellect, interests, and curiosity. When the mix is just right it leads to unexpected, lively, and even inspiring conversation. Friendships may be formed, plans hatched. When it works just right it can feel enchanted, but that’s not an accident.

A lot of thought goes into getting the right people in the same place at the same time. In a sense, that’s the essence of Dealmakers. We strive to bring together people from different corners of our shared space, and to set the table for them to interact in ways they otherwise might not. Those connections often lead to significant transactions and long-term relationships. So, for this issue of Dealmakers LINE, we’re taking a look at the people who make up our unique community and their refined skill sets.

Whether it’s broadening the inclusiveness of innovation and leadership, or considering the traits and skills of effective dealmakers, we’re interested in the people who facilitate transactions at the intersection of technology, finance, and law.

Over the next several weeks we’ll be sharing stories that take on this theme from different angles. Please check back regularly for updates.
