Associates are typically involved in closing one to three investments per year and work within a team of three to four investment professionals. Additional responsibilities include supporting our portfolio companies, completing tuck-in acquisitions and participating at Board meetings. Over the course of a year, an Associate meets with or visits approximately 100 companies.
