I don't know of any major banks with a tech practice in LA but the Sponsors groups (CS, Barcap, MS) get exposure to a lot of tech company deals based on the focus of the West Coast PE firms they cover. However, this won't be exactly the same as a real dedicated tech practice up in the Bay Area.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
