Moelis SF Clean Technology Group for 2026 SA

Seeking insights on Moelis's Clean Technology Group in San Francisco. New group launched in September 2023, co-led by Arash Nazhad and Rick Polhemus.

Int'l sophomore at an east coast Ivy with interests in EV, eVTOL, and adjacent areas. Considering applying for 2026 SA over the New York office. Curious about the group's deal flow, exits, and how it compares to other cleantech/climate tech/clean energy groups or power & utilities teams covering renewable energy. Thanks!

Why are investment banks in such a frenzied rush and desperate urgency this year, as if they're racing to be reborn and their survival depends on it?

 

 

in ur situation id just look to recruit for the teams in NY (power, infra, renewables etc.) ivy will bring u more traction there than in SF
