TCV - reputation in 2024?

How is TCV doing these days? Saw the articles last year around them struggling to raise their most recent fund. Know they’ve tried a bunch of things recently like earlier investing with their Velocity strategy. Curious if still a top growth/late stage venture shop to join at the junior level

Anecdotally have heard (from a biased source lol) that they’ve mostly gotten past their fundraising hurdles.

Curious how they’re holding up squared up against the Insight / Summit / GA / TA / JMIs of the world, if anyone else is able to shed insights

Firm struggling with identity and has some growth buyout and some non-lead mid/late VC, tough gap to straddle. They demoted at least two Partners down to VP since I interviewed, almost every associate I talked to is out. Leadership is past its prime, culture suffering. Fund closed at 55% of target after two years in market.

 

Not naming names. Click the link and compare it to the current team page.

 

Disregard, mixed up with another acronym.

I think of it as barriers to entry to attract the highest caliber individual which will represent the associate class and above.

Trust me, I am no fan of SG Partners, but you are getting a curated candidate pool vs 200 middle / back office professionals applying via LinkedIn, and no shade against those folks, I hired a middle office valuations person and he is the highest performing now associate on my team, but that is the rare occurrence
