Hey NYCHobby, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.

I only know PSG, they’re fairly unique among growth firms in that they’ve REALLY leaned into the buy-and-build strategy. They’ll do the classic “minority growth + spend more on sales and marketing” thing, but the true calling card has been platforms like Tribute Tech, Ministry Brands, etc. where they bought 40-50 things to create a platform, did some light synergies (monetizing payments, etc) and made a ton of money. 
 

I get the impression returns are good but have to imagine this strategy is absolutely BRUTAL on juniors from a sourcing + execution perspective. But at least you’ll get hella deal reps!
