If Tik Tok is forced to sell, what banks do you think would be involved in the deal?
Could be a dumb question, but interested none the less.

Highest bidder...
Cascadia Capital
JBlitz has this in the bag
Natixis usually is on the mandate of the biggest tech deals in some capacity
Isn't there an EB that specializes in financial technology? I think they pay their AN1s 140k base so they must be the best for this type of deal
TikTok is not a FinTech
He just wanted to feel belonged

Why do people MS this when it's obviously a joke?
uchicago reddit legend iercurenc
Obviously I know TikTok isn't a fintech company, but I'll take any chance I have to make a joke about FTP
Sounds like an Allen & Co or Qatalyst deal
why does it seem like these firms will be selected for this deal?
Nice to hear where everyone is working at
.
Likely the apex predators (CVP/Allen & Co/Dyal & Co/M Klein & Co/PJT/LAZ)
You excluded the biggest player, Qatalyst.
Most banks are probably already all over this situation in one way or another - but realistically a sale won’t happen and if push comes to shove Tiktok will end up just exiting the US market instead
Couldn’t they sell their US arm instead? Like reincorporate it and sell it and then they operate elsewhere?
Some things are a matter of principle.
That’s already a lot of core technology… think they’d prefer an exit as well
Raine. They easily do the most “fun” deals. Just look at their website
I just know that ARM deal took 15 years off every analysts life... Well this one can take another 15
Raine is a great shop… I don’t think they’d pull this one out from under Qatalyst, Allen & Co., or a top BB
Qatalyst too as Frank loves them spicy, media rich transactions
Probably Goldman. It’s always Goldman.
Wells Fargo is most likely bc of their balance sheet capacity. They can lend to the sellers which is a huge value add in any process especially for the sellers who need the financing to sell their company.
congrats on wells fargo
Fucking lol
Literally every bulge bracket banks can do that 🤦
I heard MiddleViewPartners (MVP) won the mandate for Tiktok
Mizohu for sure
LSE M&A Group
Jonesy Rothschild
pls tell me someone gets the reference
Unfortunately
Cutting edge m&a team from fortnite capital
...
BGL
China Renaissance
I heard it might be Fooch inc.
Del
Tobin & Co
Liberty Strategic Capital
Aeris Partners
They need someone with global txn experience and offices in China and US. It’s obviously going to be MS/GS or JPM….. (for sellside) for buyside going to could literally be any of the main tech guys (would put money on MS/Q/Allen
QAtalyst/JPM/Allen!
Citi
ICON Corporate Finance are a real emerging force in the tech M&A space
del
Wtf is ICON
My bet would be any mix of Qatalyst, MS Menlo, Goldman, Allen, Evercore.
gs tmt
But SF or NY office?
I guess SF because TikTok executive lives there
With how raunchy its gotten, throwing my vote in for LionTree Adult Entertainment
OF merger would go crazy imagine the synergy with the already overlapping talent base
Algorithm already serves me constant sideboob. Delimit sensitive content and verify 18+ and you've got a market leader.
People are just naming random ass banks lol
