WestCap

Hi WSO, I would love to hear how WestCap is in terms of culture, returns, and exits.

For context, I'm An1 in an EB IBD TMT Group and am looking to eventually do VC or Growth Equity or TMT Buyouts.

From what I saw, the investment team is very lean, so I assume you get a lot of responsibility while working under very smart people.

I've also heard great things about Laurence Tosi, both from people who worked with him and for him. He seems like a chad. Georgetown, Merrill Lynch, Blackstone, Airbnb, and even getting poached by Steve Jobs.

I am curious about what the culture and upward mobility are like here.

They have their name thrown around a lot, but I am curious about HF or B-school placements, the firm's culture, as well as how the firm is viewed nowadays.

If anyone also has any advice for the HH and interview process, that would be greatly appreciated.

Any insight is much appreciated here, thank you all!
