It's simple: I like TMT, I like M&A and I like boutique banks. I'd love to compile a list of TMT exclusive banks, not coverage groups within BBs / EBs some names come to mind: EDIT: In no particular order EDIT EDIT: This is not a ranking system EDIT EDIT EDIT: Would love to see only Boutique Banks here & desks that are not only in SF either.. - Allen & Co. - LionTree -Union Square Advisors - Code Advisors - Raine Group - Foros Group - Qatalyst - FinTech Partners - GCA Savian

No explanation for putting Qatalyst, LionTree, and Allen with the others. A firm like USA is almost exclusively MM whereas the aforementioned three work on massive deals.
Also, Raine is a good shop but their best work is in growth equity and capital raising - not necessarily M&A.
But seriously how would you tier them?
1A
- Qatalyst
1B
- Allen & Co.
- LionTree
2
- Union Square Advisors
- Raine Group
3
- FinTech Partners
4
- Code Advisors
- Foros Group
- GCA Savian
Don’t think it’s so egregious to put quatalyst, liontree, raine, and Allen together. Quatalyst is certainly the best but the others aren’t absurdly far off.
There's honestly at least three tiers in this list alone with Qatalyst with its own tier at the top.
Wall Street Oasis: curious poster presents a list asking for for information. Commenter instantly swoops in to tier the list
The list is titled “Best Boutique TMT” so it was asking for some sort of ranking
Hey man, don't act like you didn't know what you were signing up for when you came into this thread
if you check some threads on Incentrum Group, they seem like a boutique firm with healthcare advisory and tech investing
I've seen you posting a lot recently about Incentrum. You a fanboy or something?
Says the FTP troll
@richard_3" its people like you who bring down the quality of this content. By posting like this, you are reflecting badly on FTP for hiring employees like you. Gives me the impression that FTP hires desperate, superficial people who have an inferiority complex. Please do better
I'm sorry, sir. I'll stop posting about FTP so much. As you can tell, I've stopped posting so much about the firm. I wish to give others a voice to speak. Your words are very well said and I will take that into account when posting in the future.
If you see me acting up again, please do not hesitate to call me out again. Tahnks for the wake-up call!
EDIT: Better yet, I might actually just leave WSO since FTP and WSO doesnt need someone like me posting stuff. I will return again when I am more in tune with my sense of rality and forgiveness towards others. Perhaps you might see me posting in these parts of the town or not. Farewell forno, Associate 2 - in IB - Gen. May we see each other in another thread!
I will return when things are calmer and things are settling down. Or maybe I'll just post about different things not realted to FTP in the future. Still go to think. For now, toodles though
FT partners please discipline your analyst class lol
my god. can we just get a damn list of TMT Boutiques you nerds. Idgaf about rankings. I’m just asking a damn question.
Chill go do your own homework and look it up if you’re so desperate
thanks nerd
Interested in learning more about Foros, which was founded by DB rainmakers (to all the young college students who think DB is a joke, they used to compete with the top banks before the crisis, so the founders at Foros were kind of big deals).
I know they were killing it earlier in the decades but are they doing much these days? What’s the junior experience like there?
delete (I ranted about DB SF instead of answering about Foros)
Late to this thread, but have a buddy that works there. Still awesome experience it seems. Actually relatively light hours vs. other banks and still a few approximately $1 billion transactions in recent years. Base is $100k and bonus is street for 1st years
Add GCA to that list.
To add to the above: GCA, DC Advisory, Arma Partners and Alantra all have a strong tech presence in SF
GCA yes, DC Advisory? Interviewd with them for SA... def not a boutique bank.
DBO Partners is also a good one to put on this list. Still very small in terms of number of personnel rn but they work on pretty huge deals every now and then, founded by three ex-rainmakers from MS. Based out of SF. Hours are brutal like at any up-and-coming boutique but the people are sharp and friendly.
DBO is a real solid shop and stacks up well against the firms on the list. But there seems to be a misconception on WSO. DBO is neither a tech or TMT boutique. They really see themselves as generalists.
