Independent Sponsor/Fundless Sponsor Experience

Hi monkeys,

I made it to the final round at an independent sponsor for an analyst gig. The firm is small, 10 with about 3-5 on the deal team. The group is looking to execute 8-12 add-on and 1-2 platform deals in 2019. I would love to here from anyone who has worked at a similar shop and could provide some insight on their experience. Would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
