Top TMT/Media Placements into PE?
Incoming SA @ a TMT-focused firm (Q/Liontree/Raine/Allen). Wondering if the nicheness of these firms reduces buyside optionality (MF/UMM placements) and HH outreach?

I had very few firms reach out to me through HHs, maybe one call per month and nothing happened. Then I made a few phone calls through existing connections and found a fund that invested in this field. Happened to know someone in that firm. Emailed, interviewed, and got the job.
Please take out Qatalyst out of your list. It's not close, and I would highly doubt incoming @ Q will be asking this question. Allen is pretty irrelevant too. To answer your question, it will be an uphill battle considering how extremely risk averse these funds are.
Why is Allen irrelevant?
You’ll get looks if you’re at LionTree but won’t be as easy as if you were at GS/MS/EVR type of group
Agreed. LionTree has placed to both TMT PE and tech-focused HF
Why won’t it be as easy? I always thought that once you’re in the interview process, it really comes down to performance.
Or am I being naïve — and in reality, funds are so risk-averse, such that even with equal performance, a Goldman candidate will be seen as more desirable than someone from a place like LionTree?
Yes, these firms are extremely risk-averse. Someone coming from LionTree should perform better than the typical GS analysts to be considered.
