Updated Thoughts on Sycamore Partners / on-cycle

Wanted to hear people's updated thoughts on Sycamore - from what I've gathered, seem to be somewhat active around on-cycle and a decent shop

Does anyone have insight on the firms culture / comp / fundraising trajectory?

Saw that they haven't raised since 2017 but also did some big deals. any idea on fundraising?

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
