Anyone know anything about this firm?
We ran into them during a process and I had never heard of them. This despite their website saying they manage ~$5B and have very recognizable portfolio company names (Borden, True Value, etc.). They also do not seem to be very focused on A&D (despite being in D.C.).
Curious if anyone else has worked with them, knows more about their criteria (limited notes online), or anything of the sort.
Thanks.

**They're in D.C., which is why I make the note regarding A&D
Seeded in part by David Bonderman to do LatAm buyouts (around the same time he did the same with Halifax Group in the lower MM and Iron Point in real estate). They've expanded more into traditional US buyouts. Had a casual dining franchisee investment that didn't go so hot recently and was in the news.
Thanks for the information. So, it sounds like their US buyout business came after their LatAm focus? Or, were they always focused on both?
It looks like they have separate funds that focus on either US or LatAm today, but would still be interesting to understand this progression.
Anyone else familiar with these guys?
anecdotal, but i know 2 ACON guys who are both super sharp
Any idea what culture / work-life balance is there based on your two contacts? I’ve seen a number of recent job postings by them, but can’t find anything too helpful online.
Bump, anyone else have anything?
