MM PE that hire undergrads

Which firms below MF hire undergrads right out of college (also without spending the summer before interning)? From a semi-target at an okay bank this summer but interested in hopping to the buy side right away after graduation. Also, what would the recruiting timelines of these firms be? Ideally NYC area

Adding Eldridge and Stellex to the above. Reputable firms that have analyst programs/hire out of UG
