Just have a look at their LinkedIn profiles in LND. Only 1 women in a team of 20 + The former head of the office left in 2017 and started Novalpina which now blew up due to NSO/Pegasus + The partner in charge of the London Office since then is also responsible for NY. 3 datapoints that don’t speak favorably to a good office culture I would say.

In my view culture is first, second and third followed by comp.

Have heard anecdotally they have a horrible culture and know several people that have gone and hated it. Paid well/ above market though. This is in the US

Is this recent? I saw some older posts from several years ago about this, so wasn’t sure how relevant it still is. Any further insight on comp?

The buyout is projecting 8.9x cash on cash returns and IRR of ~53%. Entry valuation $5M (3.2x ARR), expected exit valuation $24.8M (5x ARR). Currently 38% ebitda margin, forecasted 55% in exit year - 5 year holding period

The minimum is $50k. Is it dumb to spin up an SPV with a few friends to invest in this? I know the GP of the acquiring firm.
