Is Equiturn a new Elite Boutique?

Saw a thread on Reddit today about the CEO claiming $600B in deals that compare to many of the leading EBs. It seems like they're based in Miami, Florida and if you check Linkedin everyone that works there are recent college graduates and interns and their Senior Associate leading the Miami office graduated May 2024 lmao. Their CEO also has no relevant experience and is now leading the TikTok bid. Who the hell are these guys?

To be fair, what I posted comes from the CEO's own words in his article, and the details on the firm and its employees comes from their LinkedIn/Website.    

I opened this discussion to see if anyone would know anything about this. Have you done any research on them or know anything you'd like to share on this thread?

It took two secs to realize that a recent Florida State grad conned some biz journal into thinking he is running g a legit investment bank that beat out MS for underwriting of a fictional tik tok bid.


There are no other sources for such claims and tik tok is not embarking on an IPO as of now.


Why would you believe this is real?

 

why is this getting downvoted bruh. its legit from a random 10 comment reddit thread and an article in some shitty local miami newspaper. for a firm in miami ran by non target grads and students. Yep I'm sure its closing in on PJT's total deal value!

 

You are right, TikTok isn't embarking on an IPO but bids for the acquisition of TikTok's US operations are happening and this firm is advising one of the major investors.

Jesse Tinsley? A recruiter who founded Recruiter.com and sold it for a whopping $1.4 million?


I’m sure he’s the favorite to win the day, with his deep pockets and ultra successful background.

 

It's literally in the second paragraph of the article lmao

I work at a MM IB and have friends who know about them. One of the analysts was reaching out to some colleagues of mine to learn about new opportunities. Which is funny because, honestly, I barely knew what was going on at this firm myself. 

Like, let’s be real—if you’re networking for lateral moves, this place can’t be an elite boutique. Now I’m genuinely curious… are deals actually closing here, or is this just some Monopoly money situation where everyone pretends transactions are happening?
