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?
