Francisco Partners Reputation
Have an upcoming final round with Francisco and was just wondering if anyone here had any intel on updated reputation, b-school placement, returns etc. because there are relatively few threads on here that are recent.
From what I understand they are one of the top 5ish tech-focused buyout shops outside of Thoma/Vista/Silver Lake and maybe Hg/ClearLake, have a lot of recent momentum with deal of the year this year, 26%+ IRR on fund vintages post-2015, etc.
Typically see comparisons of general tier placing them among top UMM funds like GTCR, New Mountain, etc. and their current $12bn fundraise would put them in a size range sort of blurring the line between UMM/MF
How would you compare them to tech groups at large-caps like TPG, WP, or Carlyle? Is H/S attainable if you aren't URM? Have anecdotally heard that the pipeline to Stanford GSB is strong as CEO is on the advisory council, and was on the board of trustees / Chair of the GSB management board previously, but any data points would be helpful
Is there another final round after the initial 4-hour interview?
Have heard it’s sweaty af
Known to be good investors. Respectable portfolio with good returns. Have also heard sweaty. Not sure on b school placement but I’d imagine it’s good. Hard to lock H/S these days without URM but I’m sure HSW is reliable.
