It’s not the best, not the worst.

It’s like between a LMM lifestyle firm and a MF. A solid middle ground.

Operationally intensive PE firm. We sold one of our portcos to them few years back. Good team and people. It sure what their comp is.

Incredibly useless comment but all I know about them is that
- they are a spin out of Monomoy which is an ops and value focused LMM/MM industrials player (Monomoy is itself a KPS spin out)
- they make a ton of social media posts about how good their culture is which makes me think they must have a good one but then again Jefferies does the same and it’s one of the worst junior IB experiences on the street so who knows
