North Bridge Growth Equity

by CompBanker Certified User (Senior Gorilla, 989 Banana Points Points) on 8/23/08 at 12:04pm

Anyone have any insight to North Bridge Growth Equity? (http://nbge.northbridge.com/Default.asp)

Mostly interested in whether or not they have a sourcing model due to theirs roots at Advent / Summit / TA. I'd imagine that they would employ more associates if that were the case.

Of course, would also be interested in lifestyle and the general culture of the firm. Recognizing the firm is relatively small and relatively new, there probably aren't many people out there with first hand knowledge, but in the off-chance there are, thanks.

sourcing model

definite sourcing model..cold calling/networking

its very similar to every other growth equity firm, you eat what you kill, no face time, etc.

senior guys all have great backgrounds, they are affiliated with NB Venture Partners which has a great track record..

i knew about the sourcing beforehand as they stated it in their job posting.

i found out about the rest through my interview with them. the sourcing wasn't something what I wanted to do just yet but went through the interview process anyway to collect business cards. the guys seemed pretty cool and they had great deal experience prior to joining. the principals survived through the bubble burst which is when they started their careers and i thought that was pretty impressive.

at the end of the day, if sourcing is not for you, i wouldn't pursue this opportunity further.
