Recently got selected for an in person event at their HQ in NYC this coming spring.
I honestly could not find any info on them besides they’re a VC/PE firm with $30 billion AUM.
Any and all info is appreciated.

Amazing place. Focuses exclusively on software, and does anything from Series A to LBOs. Just raised a $20B fund, they are easily one of the top 3 largest software investors in the world right now.
Analyst role is heavy on cold-calling - your job is to source new deals and to get to know founders. You are working for one of the 6 IC partners, and each partner has slightly different focus (e.g., infra software, B2C, B2B, early stage, buyout).
Pay is as good as it gets, in line with the best-paying MF PEs, and hours are much better, probably ~60h weeks on average.
Hope this helps
Ay bruh I think I just nutted
Is Insight sourcing heavy at the associate level too? Apologies if that's a dumb question.
Yeah pretty heavy - it becomes less and less sourcing heavy as you go up. Senior Associate is when your role shifts away from sourcing
What is Aso1 comp?
Any insight on which IC partners focus on buyout and B2C?
There are a few threads on this. Insight is basically hardcore sourcing for 2 years. You're used as an analyst but if you ascend the ranks you get to do more thinking.
Did you have to apply to this event?
Yes I did
Did they send out the application or was it on the website?
Is this the sophomore summit? Are they still taking applications?
Because Jews are good investors? Weird question
Lol, everybody hires Jews, they're good people.
Just completed their one way video interview. How long did it take for them to send you the Predictive Assessment?
What did they ask?
Sophomore summit?
I would recommend getting to know Candace if you are seriously considering the firm. Great shop all around.
That’s misogynistic tbh
