Media Boutiques

Hi everyone. I currently have offers from LionTree & Raine for my summer, does anyone know how they stack up (deal flow, exit opps etc.)? I'm a non-target interested in media and sports related deals, but want to go to a shop that has several large transactions. Any thoughts would be great (and if someone could lay out Raine vs. LionTree vs. Allen, I would really appreciate it). Thanks!

Congrats on the offers! I had a superday interview with both firms and had an offer with one of them, but ultimately declined to work at another EB in NYC. Both firms have established TMT practices.

Raine has a stronger reputation than LionTree and overall tends to have better exit ops post-banking after your analyst stint. Raine was an advisor on Steve Ballmer's acquisition of the Los Angeles Clippers a few years back. They have a very interesting partnership with WME and are able to source much of their deal flow through their relationships. They also have an investing arm, and I believe analysts are able to help out with some of the growth equity investments.

LionTree would also provide a great opportunity, but based on reputation and the analyst experience, I would go with Raine.
