Seen that the firm has been ridiculously active this summer when other PE has been relatively quiet ... what's going on with that? And now that they've raised their biggest fund yet and pushing into MF territory, what does the street think of FP now?

In a Tech M&A group and we encounter them all the time - Seems like people are starting to think of them as being close to / on the level of a Thoma/Vista, but maybe not quite there yet. Definitely an elite firm.
Pretty reputable group in the tech space with strong returns. Agree with poster above that they're not yet a household MF name, but elite for sure. The founder DJ used to work at TPG's Tech group and left to start FP. The current TPG Tech Head, Nehal, used to work at FP under DJ before leaving to TPG.
Sweaty af, but reputable
A top group, would be an ideal place to work
Very good track record on the back of their power alley in hairy situations and carve outs. Their latest fund will test their ability to evolve into a more vanilla buyout strategy, they’ve now done a bunch of stuff in a style they hadn’t been in previously.
Generally, great operationally focused investors, excellent in software, known to be stingy and meaningfully underpay on the carry pool (more of a factor at Principal and up).
lol GGC vibes
A great shop, strong returns and heard good things about the overall experience but you’ll have to work very hard
Can you elaborate how on how hard people are working? Of course deal sprints vs typical weeks vary but how would you compare to banking?
Imo, they need to change their name to something more appealing
Bump - saw news about Sandvine / LogMeIn struggling. Any insight in how their funds are doing / how bad mark-to-market would hurt them?
Looks like they got out of sandvine - any insights in either of the above?
Any insight on comp at FP?
Bump, considering doing offcycle process with them, would appreciate any updated thoughts
