Curious as to what the tech PE scene is like in NY/elsewhere on the East Coast. I know most top funds are in SF or elsewhere (TB in SF and MIA, Vista in Austin). Are there many top-performing tech-focused funds in NY? What about "generalist" or "multi-sector" funds that allow associates to specialize in tech?
Background: Interested in software PE specifically, but would love to avoid having to spend a career or extended time in SF, for a multitude of reasons that you can probably imagine.

Know I’ve missed a lot, these are just some off the top of my head. Please add below if you have any.
Would also add Welsh Carson and New Mountain. Solid MM-UMM that do a lot of (but not exclusively) tech. Appreciate your input.
Adding THL for automation tech
Also curious on the MM/UMM tech scene in nyc. Know of a good amount in Boston…
Even if they’re generalist and do tech. Feel like it’s always the same big names mentioned for nyc on this forum but there’s got to be more MM funds in nyc… maybe i’m wrong
