VC/Growth arm of top hedge fund ?
Hi all,
I will get into a process for the VC/growth arm of a top HF (~$10bn AuM) and was wondering what are the pros and cons of working in a HF vs. traditional PE environment ?
My initial impression is that these guys are more thesis-driven (“we want to invest in mobility / renewables / e-commerce etc” instead of VCs which would say let’s go to mobile world congress and see who is interesting) and a bit loose on DD (ie make a shit ton of investments with very lean teams which mean you either work until 4am every day or you do minimal DD) but that’s from the outside.
Any views?
Also wondering how the hedge fund returns impact your life in the growth team typically ? Ie if the HF is getting killed which is likely to happen these days, does it mean your comp and dry powder will suffer within the VC team ?
