Why the Roundup exists

Better rooms create better opportunities.

No hard pitches. No panels. Just real conversations with serious entrepreneurs.

The Dealmakers Roundup brings together business owners, real estate investors, operators, and capital partners in growth markets. It is intentionally built around conversation—not stage time—so the people in the room can actually meet each other.

01

Curated People

Entrepreneurs, service-business owners, investors, family offices, developers, and operators with something real to build.

02

Useful Conversations

No vendor gauntlet and no endless panel schedule. The event is designed to create time for introductions that can turn into deals.

03

Growth Markets

We bring the Roundup to markets where business, real estate, and capital are moving—and where relationships still matter.

You can explain a networking event all day. It is easier to show the energy, the people, and the conversations.

Why we built it
Latest event · Knoxville

Inside The Vault.

The September 10 Roundup took over The Vault at 531 S Gay Street in downtown Knoxville—a speakeasy built into a historic bank vault.

The venue matched the event: distinctive, intimate, and built for conversations instead of crowds.

Brands that want to be in the right room.

Sponsors are part of the community, not a trade-show wall. We keep the roster intentionally limited so partners can actually meet attendees.
