Brightwood Capital?
Does anyone have insight (experience, comp, hrs, etc.) with Brightwood Capital? Seems like they've done pretty well since starting in 2010 (~$4BN aum today) but there isn't much information about them online from a junior perspective.

Hard and huge bump this firm looks v interesting.
A good friend of mine works there. It is a typical debt fund that works across the capital structure. I hear hours aren’t too bad (45-60/week). Base comp is in line with street, but I can’t speak to bonuses.
Know it's been a couple months, when you say "street" could you specify at all?
Bump. Heard of them and viewed their website a few times. With a potential contact there through one of my mentors. Interested in knowing as well how their total comp is
Bump. Have a couple contacts would love to know more about the firm
Contacts at the firm? If so can I pm you?

Know Brightwood a bit. They're solid. Worked on a deal w/ them - they came in big for us w/ an anchor ticket / big commitment to the 2nd Lien Term Loan. Info below (by the way yeah they're website has nothing on it basically - I always find that interesting...HPS is similar)

I work at a competitor. word on the direct lending street rn is they're dealing with significant portfolio issues so new deployment has been slow
are you in the same 5-75 EBITDA target Co range? if so can you provide ranges on comp?
Heard they used to go by, "Morningwood capital" but that was a giggity so they had to change it.
Probably should be mentioned that their cofounder and co-CEO left in 2020 to found Lafayette Square Holdings.
Yup, saw that on LinkedIn last year. That’s probably the most important piece for their survival right now seeing Damien was a really bright mind in their leadership team. Waiting to see how the Lafayette op goes.
Old thread but Lafayette recently refinanced a port-co of mine and at the 99yard line didnt have enough capital called so we had to wait 2 weeks to close. Not a huge deal but a rookie mistake IMO.
Any updates here?
