Nautic Partners

Does anyone have any experience / insight with Nautic Partners? Looks like strong returns (hence BX investment) and recent fund size hitting $3bn. Are they better in any particular industry / any general commentary?

Cannot provide too much other than to say that I’ve had some business school classmates that work / have worked there and never seemed to have a problem. I’ve been to their offices and met with their folks (deal collaboration) and didn’t have any negative observations. Worth exploring for sure.

I think Providence is a decent spot, but I'm not an East Coast guy. The shop is very strong in HC and business services. Known to pay up in processes, they are certainly more on the organic/de novo growth vs. acquisition from my perspective. Doesn't mean they won't do add-ons, but they aren't a pure "buy and build" shop and seem to bolster management teams with significant talent.

 

Bump - any more insight on them? Are they running any associate processes rn?

 

Location is kinda random but Providence is 45 minutes from Boston. I think healthcare put them on the map but they've since built out services and industrials groups. Really good track record (as you pointed out, there's a reason why BX invested in them). Team is hilariously white but I am not sure what else you'd expect from a PE fund in Rhode Island lmao

 

We are LPs in their recent funds and I have co-invested with them in one of their deals.  Solid 3-4x gross MOIC on their funds and UQ ranking for their vintages.  Can't speak to the associate culture, but my interactions with their mid/junior staff (from an LP perspective) have been very positive.  Comments above are valid - I imagine it's a pretty white shoe, homogenous (but very nice / collegial) place to work, with the downside of being located in Providence (but Amtrak is a quick ride from Boston).
