Is anyone on Lazard VGB team or have some insight into the group? I have an interview for a lateral role in NYC and cannot find too much on the group, seems to be relatively new and Europe dominated.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Lazard's VGB (Venture and Growth Banking) team in the provided dataset. However, Lazard's NYC office is known for its strong presence in advisory services, with a focus on M&A, restructuring, and middle-market practices. The firm has a reputation for being highly selective and fostering a culture of excellence, with some variability in team dynamics depending on the group.
For a lateral role, you can expect the interview process to include behavioral questions (e.g., "Why Lazard?" and "Why this group?"), technical questions, and possibly a case study or deal discussion. If the VGB team is relatively new and Europe-dominated, it might be worth preparing to discuss how your skills and experience align with building out a newer platform or contributing to cross-border transactions.
If you're looking for more specific insights, consider reaching out to current or former employees on LinkedIn or exploring additional WSO threads for updates. Good luck with your interview!

Interviewed and feel like the team is fairly self-explanatory, doing mostly cap raises in early-stage companies in markets like renewables and tech. A bunch of the team are transfers from TMT teams. Culture seemed a lot better than other groups (esp. in Ldn) but don't know much more than that. They have a flagship event in Europe (believe called T500?) which takes a lot of planning etc.; wouldn't say a core focus of the group but definitely a big element.
I appreciate it thank you!
