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.

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.
