This seems very extreme to me. I understand not being able to talk about the fund performance and even specific company performance in terms of mark-ups, IRR etc. However, if a departing partner sourced, led, managed the deal and deals were won only b/c a that partner was on it, why isn't this part of a GP's personal track record? (especially if the founders will strongly vouch for that GP). And if that partner was the one who accompanied certain deals, including board roles, if those companies sign off on that GP's involvement, why can't that be considered part of the GP's personal record?
