Axom Partners Thoughts?
Boutique launched by former Qatalyst bankers. Have not seen discussions on the forum so wanted to start one.
Anyone with thoughts?

Their approach sounds interesting from the website. Not positioning themselves to compete with the likes of the big tech banking franchises, instead targeting the “nascent” sub-verticals which means smaller companies, and smaller fee engagements. Which tbh is fine if the team is so small such that the tiniest fee will feed a larger % – but not sure how a junior experience would compare/compete with more established groups since there’d be less exposure to the big blue chip tech names
If I had to guess these MDs have an impressive roster in said subverticals and the way they are phrasing it is diplomatic. I don't think it would fly well with just about anyone to out and out say "We're Qatalyst 2.0 and we broke off to make more money for ourselves by taking Qatalyst's robotics and AI clients with us".
Any other info on Axom?
Bump, any info on Axom now that they've been around for over a year? Cant seem to find any info on any transactions or any deals they may have worked on since launching
Know some of the guys there. Sharp team that left Q on good terms. The senior leadership include 2 observant Mormon and 1 observant jew. Nothing wrong with it, but it will definitely impact the culture in a positive way since the 3 believe in sunday being the day of god.
So far most of their mandates are small deals that Q is not interested in and pushes down the chain to them. The team seem to be sharp at the mid-level with on guy leaving CVP to go to them.
I think it is soon to be a rising spot and it will be interesting to see how they become in the next 5-10 years.
If exit opps your worry, it is not the place to be unless you are a nepo baby that can score you fam's PE fund.
25 deals in 24 months, with most sales to Strategics (OpenAI, NVIDIA, Nebius, Google, Meta, etc.). If you were an analyst there imagine how stacked your resume would be after just two years. Plus I heard the founders are OG WSO lurkers and just remembered their password ;) -- with love, Whomst MD
are you hiring for FT 2027?
