Move to Software M&A

Hi all,

Currently a 3rd year analyst at an Energy & Infrastructure focused LMM IB based in London having closed a couple deals.

Wanting to move towards a role in growth equity / PE, the dream is to do growth equity in SF.

Thinking of moving to a LMM software focused M&A boutique. Any thoughts on a realistic move / best shops right now where it is possible to lateral without a tech background?
