Generate Capital
Does anyone have info on Generate Capital? They have a pretty interesting business model for the infra world so I would be interested to hear more about comp and culture.

Worked across from them on some deals, Australian sovereign fund is their biggest LP I believe. Otherwise, the people I worked across from didn’t seem very sharp but rather laidback.
Curious to here more. I know a lot of their team left from the NY Green Bank but on LinekdIn they seem pretty sharp.
As sharp as Ben Shapiro LOL.
They have a strange and opaque business model. People that work there bill themselves as holier than thou. Take that as you will
Completely agree. Interviewed with them and people were so smug. This was SF office. Obsessed with needing a passion for their business model, which was someone alluded to is very opaque. It’s a job dude, shouldn’t have to be someone’s life calling (and the guy who’s it is probably isn’t the best candidate.)
Otherwise stupid interview questions in my opinion. Drilling way too far down into some things like covenants on deals, seemed like they just did what they want with the candidate and probably didn’t replicate across applicants
Did you get the interview through a HH?
Bump! Keen to hear any other thoughts on this firm!

Echo the holier than thou. Weak performance and weak team background.
have heard comp is severely below market given SF location. Hire an odd amount from no name employers and big 4.
probably a difficult place to lateral out of if you want to be in infra. Would safely refer to them as bottom quartile
Real infra funds look down on Generate as the dumb money
Also have heard some negative things about culture at Generate. Turnover has been getting higher at the junior levels.
Has been another year, check in to see if any new updates.
Update: they’re still so smug
Care to elaborate?
Would be interested to know more as well.
