There’s a bunch of boutiques with like 25 employees
Baird’s distribution team is in Tampa
Are you trying to recruit? I’ve seen a lot of comments about this group recently.
Indeed we are - always keeping an eye out for strong candidates!
scene*, idiot.
OP is probably a Florida State student

HIG in Miami, Comvest in Palm Beach and NEP now has a Palm Beach office
Blue Sea Capital
Biggest one is Thoma Bravo down there
PE / VC / HF / AM below:
Thoma, Founders Fund, Atomic, iSquared, Comvest, Balyasny, Bayview Asset Management, Trivest, Universa, Fuel Venture Capital, Starwood
