Thoughts on Valor Equity in Chicago? Not too much information on here but seems like an interesting firm - the head guy is connected to Elon and is on the board of SpaceX.
How does this growthshop compare in level/prestige to Summit/Insight/TA/Vista?
Would working here give you a shot to move to one of the top shops (Summit,TA/Insight)?
Also, any other top growth firms in Chicago other than Valor/Vista/AdamsStreet? How would you rank these?
