Private Equity Firms DC

I know there are many websites/resources online where anyone can find lists of investment banks in different locations around the US (from BB to boutique). I was wondering if anyone knew of any similar resources that have listings of PE shops around the country.

I am interested in finding out what PE firms are located in DC. If anyone can provide a list, a link, or really any resources I would greatly appreciate it.

Why? D.C. is better known for VC outside of Carlyle really.

There are several MM shops, some are decent, others not so much. ACAS is on the decline, Harren is solid (but out in Charlottesville). Pine Creek, Halifax, Paladin are just ok. Arlington is solid.

Purely family consideration. Thank you so much for your valuable information.

Sorry, meant to quote in my last comment: Any particular reason why Arlington and Harren are legit vs. the others being only ok? Returns, comp? Any insight on Quad-C (also in Charlottesville)? Thanks!

 

Ya, sorry, should have mentioned I did a search and that was one of the threads I looked through. Was hoping to get a more comprehensive list of PE/growth equity/VC firms, and also some insight into the firms.
