Pros
Nepfin's a unique buy-side shop - has both a credit investing group and product development team building a proprietary fintech platform to service lower middle market private equity and debt shops. Given this structure, management maintains a start-up culture: * No archaic finance practices such as face-time or otherwise * Increasing tech start-up benefits (use your imagination ;) * Open-minded teams receptive to feedback from all levels / management takes actionable steps towards improving the work environment
Cons
It's a start-up. While the founders are extremely tenured (so deal flow is quite good even without additional origination efforts), the environment still requires independent, self-starters. For example, we have no staffer - teams are small, so you have to be responsible for taking on and completing deals
