Top Growth Equity Updated Headhunters Coverage? On-cycle vs. Off-cycle

Hey everyone,

A lot of updated HH lists I see on the forum is focused on buyout firms. I was just wondering if anyone has information on which HHs cover which top GE firms as of this year? 

Also, I know that the top ones (e.g. TA) goes on-cycle. But what about the other ones? 

Mostly interested in the following:

TA Associates, Summit Partners, JMI Equity, Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV), General Atlantic, Insight Partners, CapitalG, Norwest Venture Partners (NVP), Spectrum Equity, Guidepost, Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Volition Capital, Polaris Partners, Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE)

Appreciate it if someone can add any other well-regarded firms to this list as well! 

Thanks a ton.

Opus Advisors works with multiple growth-focused firms, including JMI Equity, FTV Capital, Adams Street Partners (multi strategy, including a growth team), and more.  Many of the growth equity firms recruit either late in the on-cycle calendar (i.e. a couple of months after the MF's and early on-cycle firms interview), and/or run processes off-cycle completely.
