  • VP in PE - Growth

Founders had a killer track record at Insight (Insight is actually a major LP in the fund) but they launched in 2019 and deployed a fuckton of money in consumer internet (notoriously the highest-beta segment of tech) right at the peak of the bubble. Early results were strong enough that they could raise a Fund II but I have to imagine Fund I is seeing some serious markdowns and there is a lot of pressure to perform.

Heard from some friends at Insight that the founders were HUGE partiers (for better or worse), although maybe they've mellowed out since then.

These guys invested $110mm Masterworks at $1bn valuation lol . Go figure... Regarding the point on parties, I heard the annual retreat last year was in the Caribbean, must be fun. Comps are very generous.

Just like every other B2C focused VC . But hey! At least you have something fun to talk about at family dinners.

Crazy! Any idea on how these firms usually recruit? Don't think they go through recruiters

Very familiar with Left Lane. Sharp investors, all young, super hard working. They are facing some major headwinds as their chosen area of focus (consumer growth) is immensely out of favor now, and they deployed a bunch during the 2020-21 bubble. Work environment is on the more intense side relative to other venture/growth firms, but still, it's venture, not banking or megafund PE .
