You can literally see all their backgrounds on LinkedIn... I'd assume they're the white guys amongst the odd collection of Nigerians that seem to work at another company that shares the name lol

We know where they worked, but we don’t know what their exact roles were… I have a weird feeling that a few of the senior investors might have been BD at their old firms… nothing inherently wrong with that, just extremely unorthodox for BD to move into investing.

The Serent guy with that background maybe, the KKR guy def not because they don't have BD guys on their buyout team, Bowmark guy I don't think so but I don't know that fund. Aussi guy doesn't look like he even works there anymore.
