Motive Partners
Just saw a posting from HSP on Motive Partners - anyone have any intel on the associate experience / fund performance? Not sure if I'm set on the fintech piece but definitely interested in tech so curious if anyone has any thoughts

Career Resources
I don't understand how these guys make money. They have over 200 employees (including non investment professionals) with ~$5B of total AUM. That doesn't make sense to me.
According to their team page, they only have 86 employees across all offices and positions, including Administrative Assistants.

This seems pretty typical in firms of this size and strategy
Investment team is small (<10 excl associates) and paid out of fund economics. The significant majority of the remaining headcount sits within Motive Create, which is the value creation team (developers, GTM advisors, etc.). They aren't paid from fund economics but from separate contractual arrangements with clients. The $5B of AUM is only supporting a fraction of the headcount.
It's an excellent firm
If you search for the firm on WSO, user APAE had a very helpful writeup on them
Bump. How do they rank vs other tech investing seats, especially at the associate
Curious too
Anyone interview here?
Bump. Any update on any 2025 proccess?
