They've absolutely crushed it from a returns perspective and are very difficult for LPs to access now given demand. They promote from within, and two of their current VPs started as Associates. It's a small team and they're only on Fund III so there's a huge amount of upside if they can keep generating the same performance they've had so far.
Not OP but interested as well - do you think they're planning on growing fund size for next fund or two over next 5ish years?
They absolutely will. Fund III was a big step up and I’m sure IV will be as well.

Anyone else have any additional color?

Bumping this as I’m interested
Will contribute what I know:
Others can offer more direct stuff, but it's a smaller shop so I doubt you get too much here
Thank you!

The latest fund, Fund III, has been really slow out of the gate. It’s about two years in and the latest mark I’ve seen publicly available has it at cost still.
Worked with them recently on the sell side. Overall, I had a pretty good experience working with them and got to know their team pretty well. Most of what was already commented is true from my perspective
What was your view on the people you worked with? Like, are they the types of people to unapologetically/unnecessarily send late-night emails (hardos), or were they nicer and more considerate than your avg PE folks?
Generally more the latter than the former. Of course there’s instances where late night requests happen but the deal team I worked with were pretty down to earth people compared to other sponsors I’ve worked with. This was really evident when I met them all in person
