AQ Technology Partners

Does anyone have insight on the firm AQ Technology Partners located near Palo Alto? It is my understanding that roughly 10 members of Pagemill Partners (owned by Duff & Phelps) spun off and started this firm last March of 2019.

Any insight on AQ Technology partners and Pagemill would be greatly appreciated (dealflow, culture, type of experience one would receive as an analyst). Thank you.

Damn really? They’ve only been doing deals under this banner for about a year. Seem pretty new to have high junior attrition

Edit: looks like one analyst has left since the new group was formed from Pagemill. Were these guys not well regarded at Pagemill? Seems like AQ has executed a lot under the new platform and is growing quickly. Would be excited to interview unless it's a trap lol. Echoing the comment above that everyone on the Street has heard from them^ which is very true
