Pagemill Partners (Tech M&A) - Deal Flow, Comp, Name Brand, Exit Opps.

Have an interview upcoming for a FT position with Pagemill Partners in Silicon Valley.

Can't find a ton of info about them online, but they seem to be strong boutique in the tech space, servicing "70% of the Fortune 100 tech companies" according to their site.

I have never met anyone who has worked here, and was hoping someone could provide info regarding "prestige" in the tech space, exit opps, comp, deal flow, etc. Thanks.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I recently had my first roadmap meeting with a mentor from WSO Academy, and it was truly a pleasure. We had such an open, genuine, and insightful conversation. What I appreciated most was how closely his background, career path, and long-term vision aligned with my own ambitions. It was almost as if we shared the same goals and outlook on the future, which made the conversation even more valuable. We discussed a wide range of topics, including starting my career in an analyst role in the APAC region, potential pathways into private equity, and how to eventually transition into the U.S. market. We also talked about opportunities in the Middle East and Europe, the importance of building and maintaining a strong professional network, and even the possibility of starting my own company in the long term. He shared valuable advice on the next steps I should take and how to approach my career strategically. What made the meeting particularly special was how approachable, supportive, and genuinely interested he was in my ambitions. Since I’m currently completing my internship in Singapore and he will also be visiting Singapore soon, we’re planning to meet for a coffee chat, which I’m really looking forward to. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for this experience. It was a genuinely inspiring, helpful, and insightful conversation that made me even more confident about my decision to join WSO Academy. I feel fortunate to have connected with a mentor whose experience and vision align so closely with the career path I hope to pursue.”

Pagemill was acquired at some point but Duff & Phelps. It sounds like they still use the Pagemill name (instead of D&P like the other banking groups). FWIW, if you're a bank and get acquired by another bank and they keep the target name, it has to be saying something about the reputation.

I know a few valuation analysts have transferred to the group but can't really comment on anything else.

I'd try looking through D&P and see if you can find any additional info.

Thanks. Yeah I know the whole Duff & Phelps story, but don't know much beyond that honestly.
