GS Growth: Quick Intro Invests 20-250million in Consumer, Health, Enterprise and Fintech Companies.

the team is about 17 people. On Deals Teams consist of 3-4 people Usually an MD, VP, Associate, and Analysts or VP, Asc, and Analyst. 

Invested in Aircall, Starling Bank Form3. 

$8bn AUM

Invest in Series B- Onwards from what I can tell. 

 

From experience investing alongside GS these guys are significantly better than some of the other banks’ PE practices like MS. Some very high quality assets in Europe, and their DD skills are quite good. 
 

From what I understand TA/Summit are sourcing shops where you spend most of your time reaching out to founders, which may or may not be for you, however it’s a skill you need to build. 
 

Im talking about software growth equity, I don’t know about other sectors
