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
Friends with an associate who seems to like the culture a lot (beach volleyball, socials, etc) and they promote internally.. Performance, not sure bc they haven’t raised in forever so I’d diligence that
Edit: nvm, they raised last summer
Do they take laterals? Who is the HH?
If you’re an associate, it might not be worth your time; they hired their 2027 class over a month ago.
