Hi all, I am currently researching about the best M&A mid market advisor in Tech for Europe and North America and I was wondering if you could provide me with some names which I may have missed:
DC Advisory

None of those are top drawer for Tech MM M&A.
Houlihan Lokey is arguably one of the top advisers in the Tech space in both EMEA and NA.
Baird is also decent in the MM space in Europe, unsure for US.
Raymond James is decent for MM too
OP was probably referring to Arma Partners (owned by Mediobanca)
Why would OP reference them twice? Considering the first name on his list was Arma?
Very doubtful.
Tbh I don't care about prestige. I just need them to feed our dealflow pipeline/work with some portco for potential exits (working at a fund).
Torch Partners and GP Bullhound could be worth looking into. Torch Partners might be on the smaller side though and GP Bullhound is definitely small-cap focused.
William Blair
Which is already in the original list....
For the US:
Piper Sandler (acquired DBO)
HL (good on its own, also acquired GCA)
Union Square Advisors
William Blair
Baird
Code Advisors (anecdotal)
HL
William Blair
Baird
Those 3 pretty much dominate tech m&a
Lmao, Evercore, Lazard, Perella, Moelis, and Greenhill should not be on this list. Totally different class of firms
they all do lots of mm deals.
True but so does CVP MP, JPM, BOFA, Citi, UBS, etc. You can argue that any firm outside of Q/GS/MS does a lot of MM deals in tech.

William Blair and Raymond James Tech & Services are likely the best two advisors in this space. We see an insane amount of deal flow from these two, more than every other mid market advisor listed on this post combined
Have heard strong things about William Blair, team cranks and produce pretty good work. Have heard they run processes very cut and paste, not the traditional “bespoke process” other EBs try to market
Criminal to not include GS here. They do a substantial amount of mm deals.
Canaccord Genuity in the US and Canada
Does Shea count as an MM? Great for software from what I know.
Would say William Blair and Raymond James (especially software) are the best MM Tech IB's. Arma Partners, Torch Partners are solid too. Then you'll have the usual suspects who range from solid to pretty good at most things they do such as Holuihan and the EB's going a bit downstream into the 500m-1bn UMM space. Lincoln usually have solid deal flow but imagine they target the lower end such as (50m-300m).
