San Francisco PC Shops

(Mods would be great if you could please keep here -- didn't get any active responses in the job search forum and hoping PE folks have some insights)

Hey, could anyone share what PC firms have an active presence / office in SF, and the specific strategies if available? Have seen a couple threads, but after doing some research looks like many of the named shops don't have any offices. Any info is highly appreciated!

Potential names:

  • Sixth Street, KKR (no SF?), HPS (no SF?), Blackstone, Monroe, Benefit Street (no SF?), Alliance Bernstein (no SF?), Angel Island, Silver Point
