Accurate except the last part. CapVest pays very very well, above street. Way above Montagu etc who pays below street
Thx.
Got lucky with the radiopharma boom we are experiencing right now on Curium...
Is that ironic?
wouldn't work there if my life depended on it
Can you elaborate?
Bump, do you mind elaborating? Is the culture known to be bad?
I think this might be a bit of a troll. The CapVest people are fine - sure, there'll be sweaty times, but that comes with the business. What I know is that they're not "known" to be horrifically bad on culture or anything like that - just more or a less a standard MM PE shop.
They did used to have a reputation for being a bit "bottom feeder" on valuations, and I've seen that on processes I've worked on, but that isn't the case today and they'll pay up and run hard at an asset when they want it, and they do serious due diligence. My pet theory is that they might have gotten that reputation by the nature of assets they invest in (e.g. Karro, Natra, etc.), which are often private label or lower margin and which need a bit of operational turnaround.
They do get their hands dirty on assets and work on that operational improvement and bolt-on M&A, so there's bits to learn. They like Consumer, but branch out elsewhere too.
Bumping. Pending offer from a PortCo of theirs.
You’ll see very little if the fund guys if you’re in the portco unless you’re their head of M&A or CEO/CFO
I'll be working very closely to that circle, so yes I imagine I'll have exposure to the fund team.

Bump - any further or updated insights?
Quite a lot of Associates on LinkedIn who seemed to have left less than 2y after they started (with questionnable exits).
Anyone knows whether this is due to culture? How are the hours like?
Anyone know who the HH is for CapVest?
Any insights to how is their PortCo Datasite doing?
That and Curium are basically the star performers
anyone has done a case study there and would be willing to share?
Any thoughts on them now given Stada deal?
Interested too. Seems like a desperate bet the house move outside in for a meh asset
Interesting POV!
Would love more insight from others if there is.
just invested their entire funds into a generics business... seems like a hail mary. may land big or will need to wind down
Precisely, looks retarded but hey good for the sellers who could’t offload this asset for the last 4 years
Bumping this - keen to get any update here. Know the Stada really stands out as a sore thumb, any insight on the LDN team….
Bump.
any updates on 2025 recruiting and current comp level?
They have a process on going. Round 1 right now…
What level?
