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).
