Pretty sure Stifel. Because the SF office is really Tomas Wiesel. Google it.

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Stifel (former TWP, dominate IPOs as Cos, will be on some random sell-side M&A where fees are pretty large on a % basis) Ray J (investing in building out tech team, seem to have been on some decent IPOs as Cos) HLHZ (small office, don't really see them on anything, never hear good things from interns there) Cowen (remember losses from tech team past few years, don't see them on much / anything)
