BUMP

I've seen this done previously, both pre-MBA and post-MBA, so it's certainly possible. I would assume you would need to target turnaround/distressed PE funds (e.g. Sun Capital) and it would be an uphill battle to join some larger funds (e.g. Monarch, Cerberus, Apollo).
Judging by "bumps" here, ya'll may be interested in bumping my recent request to amalgamate all RX/distressed investing questions in a single forum: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/request-for-mods-consider-adding…</a">https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/request-for-mods-consider-adding…
Out of curiosity, do you have a list of funds like Sun Capital/Aterian in the MM to LMM RX space?
Really looking at the options and only found a handful of firms. Only ones I know are current clients of mine.
Currently an RX consultant and may go to IB or straight to PE
Unfortunately I do not. I tried using filters with Preqin to get something like this but ultimately realized it was a manual exercise and there's no good way to verify what the funds actually do vs what they say they do on their website (e.g. website might list "turnaround" as part of their strategy and you'd never know whether they have even done a turnaround/distressed deal, or if 99% of their companies were bought in bankruptcy auctions).
