How is Marlin doing?

I heard they’ve been struggling for a while. Any one have an update / any details? Curious about Marlin’s performance and the Associate experience. They have a very nice beachside office in LA.

Know a former mid-level there- latest flagship is strong (3-4x) and they just raised another fund last summer. I think they'll need to get a couple more exits out before raising the next flagship. Re culture, they had some internal conflict with a couple people getting pushed and/or exiting out a few years ago. Overall friendly guys in my experience 

 

If you’re an associate, it might not be worth your time; they hired their 2027 class over a month ago.
