ADQ Tech Team - Abu Dhabi

Looks like an interesting team with significant dry powder doing a mix of high-velocity direct early&growth stage deals and FoF. I believe they are running a process now. Any one heard from the team regarding interview?

They have this ex-Abraaj guy on their team now who won't shut up and is full of himself. At one point he was trying to offload a totally corrupt company Abraaj owned through some shady structure in Pakistan (K-Electric) to other funds. I wouldn't trust him, and by extension, ADQ. Active shop, but I can't imagine the investment decisions being very smart when you're throwing darts at everything everywhere.
