Knowledge Brokers Exiting Into PE
Hi all
I am a finance undergrad at a top Canadian university that will be graduating soon and I am looking at job opportunities. Because of a lack of initiatives in the past, I don't have a lot of interns and expereince, so breaking into the finance industry is looking pretty grim for me.
I came across the idea of knowledge brokers (AlphaSights) and was told by an AS recruiter that quite a few employees do exit into PEs and HFs (given that AlphaSights serve top PEs and HFs). However I am skeptical.
Therefore, I was wondering if you guys have heard of or know any examples where employees at AlphaSights (or other knowledge broker firms that deal with PEs and etc.) sucessfully exit into a PE/HF.
If you do please leave a comment!
Thanks

Don't know if you have had this answered elsewhere but there is absolutely no feasible transition from a company like Alphasights to a buy-side firm. you are better off getting a role with a startup if you want to break into VC. Even if it is a back office role, some of these pay well and your working title can differ from your hired title. If you want confirmation, just look at the barriers to entry at Alphasights - there pretty much aren't any
*You said PE, not VC. You’d still be better off with a late-series startup or even wealth management than an “information services” group
No one from Alphasights have ever exited to PE/HF “investing” role. Period! If they say otherwise, ask them for examples..
Probably was talking about an IR role maybe
