Nick started at Goldman Sachs TMT in San Francisco, spent 6 years at Francisco Partners rising from associate to VP, and now co-manages S20 Capital, a late stage tech secondaries fund.

In this episode, we get into what it actually takes to break into and climb in private equity, why he skipped business school, the mindset shift from associate to VP, and what running your own fund really looks like day to day.

We also dig into his take on AI and what it means for software investing, PE hiring, and whether the junior analyst role is already under threat.
