Best sell side shops for software M&A are probably William Blair and Raymond James. Both place very well in MM PE and Tech GE. FTP is probably one of the best when it comes to FinTech and private placements if that’s your thing.
 

Harris Williams and Baird are both improving as well but not as dominant as the ones listed above. 

 

Would actually disagree on HW - they were more of a top player a few years back but have lost some key MDs recently and if anything I’d argue they’re on the way down. Agreed on the rest though

 

Raymond James Tech & Services is killing it as of recent - with deal flow + and bigger EV deal sizes
