Deals as a first Year
Guys would be good to compare our respective dealflow and experience this year, to see what’s norm during covid
I’ll start:
- 2 IPOs
- 2 buy sides
- 2 sellsides
- 1 equity raise
transactions between $500-$20bn EV, $1bn on average, and mostly cross border
I have been on 2-4 deals nonstop and haven’t done any marketing for months due to dealflow. Not sure if I am good, but all my staffings have been direct (not from staffer)
6-7 deals in a year feels like a lot though
Completed
Nice mate.

Can I ask what your role is on these deals? Because unless most of them are inactive / yet to kick off, there's no way you have say, the process workstream on sell-side #1, marketing materials on sell-side #2, model on the buy side and generally a meaningful contribution. Again maybe the deal teams are like 10 juniors each but otherwise you just can't deliver.
OP here - idk who you asked ie me or the 16 deals guy, but on my 7 deals, 1 is yet to kick off, but I was the sole analyst on 1 IPO, 1 Sellside, and 1 equity raise. On my first buy side I did everything except the model which was done by another local analyst. The last 2 weren’t as intense as we had double staffing.
what kinda firm you at
Are you talking deal reps or closed deals? Also, doing 10 joint bookrun deals aren’t equivalent to 1 lead left
Deal reps
Maybe 7 financings, 1 sell side, 3 buy sides, 1 pipe, 2 spac ipos, 1 ipo. Nothing outside of a few financings closed
Started in august last year and almost all time have been consumed by one large sell side. Some marketing materials and a buy side sprint, but seriously had no capacity for anything else… I struggle to understand how one can manage 7 intense processes in one year, are the deals very short spanned?
Anyway, how did you like doing an IPO compared to a sell side?
