I met one of the MD's a while back, super super nice guy. Really smart people, great fund to work for if you get the chance. Probably my ideal PE shop to work for if I ever get the chance.

boocinbumping this...any info on prestige, b school acceptance?
I'd like to get some information on this as well. I happen to know one of the CEO's of a company that Vestar owns and have been thinking about looking into an internship if they even offer them.

They are struggling to raise a new fund.

"It sounds firm-specific to me

Recently, there were “three separate situations where limited partners were selling their interests in Vestar funds,” one source, who buys interests in funds from other investors, said.

Those investors are locked into their positions so they can only sell out if they find a buyer willing to acquire their stake at a discount."
