Used to be pretty focused on things that looked more like LMM growth buyouts (i.e. 20-50% growth, profitable, think similar flavor of things to Level / Five Elms / Radian). Lately their deals have had a more venturey flavor and I don't know how to assess it... they did at least 2-3 that I considered pretty low-quality assets but it's possible they've gone heavy with structure, etc. to counterweight that.

I think pretty big sourcing culture but they have a broader mandate than most (will do tech-enabled services, healthcare delivery, etc. v. just pure SaaS) which makes the job a little easier. 

Probably the most conservative shop culturally I've encountered in the growth universe. The people had all the dryness / dullness of an overworked buyout firm employee whereas in most of growth you usually see a little more personality, jeans, etc.
