Anybody have thoughts on AXOM partners now (Qatalyst spinoff)

AXOM partners was founded in late 2023 and have made some good hires at the senior level. Wondering how they are doing now and how they stack up to other tech banks right now. They’ve done around 10 deals in the last year including open ai and salesforce sell-sides with a 10 person team that has 2 analysts. Wanted to know if anybody else has any perspective on culture, comp, exits, and where they stack up to other tech banks.

It's an extremely strong lateral platform: blue chip names on the resume --> BB/EB post first year. 

Also a unique opportunity where you are directly corresponding with industry veterans. Externally it appears as a great place to be a career banker/build rolodex. Not sure on exits / the culture around it

I would personally take it over a MM like RJ/William Blair, but would hesitate if it's a RBC/Wells tier. If you're maximizing for exits sure, but you will get better deals + reps at AXOM over a place like RBC/Gugg/Wells etc

 

I feel like the exposure to seniors can definitely help for buy side recruting without the brand name. And looking at them, they seem to be doing more relevant tech deals than most tech banks around the tier of PWP. Will be interesting to see where they can take it in the next few years.
