Growth equity shops for non-traditional candidates

I have been told repeatedly of Summit, TA, TCV, GA as the top shops for growth equity but I wanted to explore what other shops should I target considering I am a non traditional candidate (I haven't done banking, been in tech equity research).

I want to be realistic since recruiters have largely ignored me. I am less concerned about compensation or name recognition but my focus is on getting good experience that will help me in career progression.
