Recent JEF Tech Deals (Preferably SF)

Hey all, was curious to know if anyone has any info on recent (last 2-3 years) JEF Tech deals, especially from the SF office. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Off the top of my head, Jefferies did Ellie Mae/Intercontinental Exchange (FinTech, $10.7B), Bullish Global/Far Peak Acquisition (FinTech, $9.8B), IronSource/Thoma Bravo (Software, $9.6B), Epicor/CD&R (Software, $4.7B), Cornerstone OnDemand/Clearlake (Software, $4.5B), Calypso/Thoma Bravo (FinTech, $3.8B), Achronix/ACE Convergence Acquisition (Semiconductors, $2.1B). Not sure if SF Tech was responsible for the FinTech deals, though.

It's hard to answer such a general question. There's a pretty big disparity between the top BB/EBs in the region and every other firm. No matter how you consider, overall Jefferies Tech is nowhere close to Qatalyst/GS/Evercore (in some verticals)/MS as, but that's also the story with just about every other firm. After that, the field is a lot closer. Jefferies has been growing its Tech team extremely quickly over the past few years and IMO can hold its own against just about any other BB or EB, and Jefferies is particularly strong in advanced mobility. I'm at a mid-tier BB in SF and I'd consider the Jefferies group to be our equal, and my group works alongside/competes against them a lot.

IMO, the one place that Jefferies SF hasn't caught up to mid-tier BBs is in terms of exit opps. Don't get me wrong, their exit opps have been improving and placement at UMM is doable from JEF (one of my best friends at Jefferies went to Francisco for anecdotal evidence), but there's still a ways to go before their exit opps are equal to what I've seen from my group.
