My interactions are extremely dated (+5 years ago), so take this with a grain of salt, but found them to be borderline clowns and pretty weird in terms of fund dynamics.  The two funds they've raised are not very large with long periods in between (i.e., never seemed to be very active) and pretty sure the other two non-Romney founders are just Tagg's buddies.  Didn't really seem to be any legit PE experience at the top, but looks like the firm has stuck around and headcount has grown, so there must be something keeping it going.

Smart enough to know there's three founders, but not willing to click the "team bio" page?  I worked there and fund returns were incredible. **Now in post-MBA glory but can't bother to change WSO title**
