Senior executives are smart, experienced, and well-respected in the fintech and tech-enabled space. They are very willing to guide junior employees through the steep learning curve of investment banking
Solid deal flow due to firm/executives reputation in the LMM Fintech space
Cons
Investment Banking learning curve is steep for those with non-IB backgrounds and small nature of team means Associates are expected to contribute very quickly
