Comprehensive List of Boutique Banks in CEE

Hi All,

I was recently made aware by a couple users here how they broke into the industry through emailing small investment bank boutiques asking for jobs. I spent a lot of time searching for a comprehensive list of boutiques in Central and Eastern Europe with no luck. Considering this, I want to start a thread that would list all investment bank boutiques in CEE for future reference.

I will very much appreciate everyone chiming in with the boutiques they know operate in CEE, big or small and I will add them to the list.
