Hey guys. Anyone has any thoughts on Wasserstein & Co.? Culture, exit opps, etc... Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
is perhaps the best M&A banker to have ever graced this industry......he's up there with the likes of Perella, Tom Hill, and Gleacher
If you can manage to sneak your way into his firm, the opportunities are limitless.
I don't know alot about it. Last week, Businessweek had a blurb about it. Wasserstein is still involved and it looks like the fund is doing well. Size wise they are a little less than 500mm. Seems like primarily publishing companies in their portfolio.
The first reply is probably referring to Lazard, where BusinessWeek implies Wasserstein (the man) is spending his time. I've had friends go to Lazard and they've said the culture is pretty much the status quo to the street, but implied that you are a bit more invovled with the senior people. They all have worked in Real Estate.
Don't know anything about Wasserstein and Co, the investment vehicle, lots of publishing assets - just bought Penton Business Media to go along with their Prism (Primedia Business Assets). I think they also have a stake in New York Magazine.
