Interviewed with them a few years ago and got very cold / sweaty vibes from them - wanted to know how many hours I work in a typical day, when I came into the office. Interviewers also came off as very cold / not friendly
will caveat that internally firm culture might be different. They do seem to have some success in raising
Interviewed with them. Gave off very cold and sweaty vibes. Don’t think they have much dry powder
Sus vibes
They just kicked off fundraising for their next fund. Targeting $850m.
How do you know this?
Because I am an LP
Mid-tier tech investor in the lower middle market. Have heard a handful of both successful and sideways anecdotes from their portfolio.
If you want to do tech investing, I wouldn't turn them down by any stretch. But there are certainly better funds out there.

Very young team with many successful exits. Looks very interesting if interested in tech
Diversis' bread and butter is "special situations" tech investing -- e.g. Tempo (big winner from Fund I) was a carveout from an Icelandic public company that they completed in multiple stages. Comps would be groups like Marlin or STG who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
It can be pretty high-beta investing, more so than a lot of PE, but it would expose you to some pretty unique sourcing and structuring dynamics that can be valuable elsewhere in your career. But as others have said, all that complexity = sweaty as hell.
