Lead Edge Capital - Growth Equity

Hey Monkeys, just a young undergraduate trying to look at potential Growth Equity firms to target for recruiting.

Does anyone know anything about Lead Edge Capital? I attend a target school and have seen their website recently and found their GPs to be interesting. Any information on career progression, exits, pay and anything else for this particular firm.

I believe there is already a post on it: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/lead-edge-capital-growth-equity-…
To answer your questions high level
Career Progression: Most people stay at the firm or exit to other growth/vc funds
Exits: Limited to within growth/vc/tech finance
Pay: Out of undergrad it is around 150k-175k + sourcing bonus/phantom equity

 

App was posted on handshake for my school. I applied cold and didn’t make it pass the resume screen, and was pretty surprised honestly lol. Currently interning at an EB + had tech experience so not sure what they’re looking for unless u network to get into the process

 

Had a first round there last week for SA, didn't make it through to the next round.

My interviewer said there are around 3 rounds, with the final one being a mock "sourcing call" where a team member basically roleplays as a founder and you gotta do your thing.

Interviewer was great and I really enjoyed the conversation, but it felt like they were looking for a specific personality for the sourcing intern role.

 

Nope mine was very chill and conversational, walking through resume, talk about a portfolio company that was interesting, what are investing red flags, what would you ask a founder on a sourcing call, etc.
