Join us tomorrow to learn more about the Periscope Equity process and hear from four individuals that have worked within Growth Equity/Private Equity discuss interviewing and hiring for the Buyside!
“Chicago – December 15, 2020. Periscope Equity (“Periscope”), announced the final closing of its second institutional fund, Periscope Equity II, L.P. (“Fund II” or the “Fund”) with $225 million of capital commitments. The Fund exceeded its target and was oversubscribed with the backing of an experienced group of limited partners, including university endowments, pension funds, charitable foundations, funds-of-funds and family offices. Periscope completed the fundraise of its inaugural fund in 2018 with $104 million of capital commitments.
“The durability and growth of our existing portfolio during the pandemic demonstrates the benefits of our consistent investment strategy, as we have never wavered from targeting companies with mission-critical offerings, a history of sustainable profitability, and a stable base of recurring revenue,” said Steve Jarmel, Founder and Partner.
“With Fund I nearly deployed in less than three years, we are thrilled to continue on our growth path and to execute our strategy of partnering with innovative, entrepreneurial companies on a larger scale,” said John Findlay, Partner.
Fund II will continue to execute on Periscope’s investment strategy of control buyouts of founder-owned technology-enabled services and software companies across digital marketing, business process automation, security solutions, and healthcare technology. Since inception, Periscope has completed seven platform investments, three of which have been successfully exited, and 17 add-on acquisitions.”
We will not only be hosting the team from Periscope Equity (MM PE firm in Chicago) on our webinar TOMORROW but also will be helping them hire potentially MULTIPLE PE Associates for their Chicago office.
Join us as Joe McIlhattan, VP and Harry Waddoups, Associate discuss how they work together to find success in MM Private Equity.
🗓️ Date: Tomorrow - Thursday, August 31st
🕛 Time: 12:00 pm ET

Let’s learn more about Periscope Equity
Harry Waddoups joined Periscope in 2022 and is an Associate. He is responsible for identifying and executing new portfolio company transactions as well as supporting existing portfolio companies. At Periscope, he supports the Praecipio and Uprise Health portfolio companies, where he works directly with Joe. Prior to joining Periscope, Harry worked as an analyst for Raymond James' Technology and Services Group, where he concentrated on mergers and acquisitions in the software industry.
Harry is a former OfficeHours Mentee as well! We worked with him to prepare for interviews as he was preparing for various Buyside roles…
Harry graduated from Brigham Young University with a BS in Finance.
The moderators will be our Co-Founders, Asif Rahman, former PE/VC and IB and Rohit Malrani, formerly with SourceScrub and Battery Ventures.
The exciting thing about Periscope is that even though they’re a rather newer firm, they have already had a couple solid exits… when you’re joining a firm you have to think about timeline, carry potential, are they raising bigger funds and Periscope points to a green light regarding all of those.
