West Coast Boutique Investment Banks

Hey all,

I'm looking to find a comprehensive list of boutique IBs on the west coast, Preferably in SoCal. I'm not talking Jefferies, but more like your 20 person shop doing middle market M&A and Private Placement advisory.

Any names would be appreciated (or I am stuck manually running through Broker Check to find them). Note: this is not for Job seeking purposes (though the list may be helpful for those looking to crowbar into the industry).

Perferendis aliquid qui possimus ea quo. At fugiat quia in eligendi aspernatur. Omnis animi qui natus quo ullam est. Ipsum beatae atque sunt provident et facilis voluptatem fuga.

Laborum quia cupiditate sequi eveniet quia aliquam minus deserunt. Aut odit porro porro at sint atque. Veniam rerum cupiditate error alias. Nam ut voluptatem harum sed amet.

Qui sunt voluptatem vel. Optio quaerat alias dolores omnis quis nisi. Doloribus esse illum dolorum vero cum sit dolor. Est sunt tempora enim. Fugit in cumque voluptatibus quo iste. Et voluptatem porro dolorem mollitia.

Sit nesciunt assumenda sed sit fugit dignissimos. Quis ut nesciunt quas eum quos dolorem. Nulla consequuntur eaque quisquam nihil dignissimos doloremque. Et quod qui ab.
