Arma Partners maybe? i know they do deals in London/internationally and they have a solid size office in Palo Alto
Why wouldn't you contact European Tech Banking Firms?
Thanks laxmonkey.
Matrick, I am just trying to shortlist a few that would be best positioned for the situation I described above. Surely could just ring up every tech banking team but would prefer some recommendations to limit the effort..
Went through a similar exercise, I'd say search CapIQ for MM banks located in Bay Area with international presence that focus on smaller tech deals. Can't think of any specifics other than a random boutique I interviewed with awhile back (Mooreland Partners)
What round are you on? A lot of banks don't want to be involved in earlier rounds (series A, B, C) even if they are sizeable, and the VCs really don't want them their either. Also, what sector of tech are you in? Some VC funds won't have a mandate that allows investments outside of the US.
Thanks. We don't even have CapIQ access at our smallish firm. Company is a software shop, series B.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a good list of the top Tech M&A Shops? I'm not talking GS TMT but more like boutiques.
There are very few "top" tech M&A shops that are boutiques (especially if you don't count Lazard/Greenhill/Moelis/etc.). The only strong ones I can think of are Qatalyst (duh) and Union Square Advisors.
This is not true. There are literally dozens of very good tech focused boutique IBs. They may not be "top" as in having Wall Street Oasis name recognition, but there are plenty of good ones out there that do great work.
Very interesting...care to name them?
I don't disagree that there are plenty of good ones that do great work. I'm simply saying if you wanna compare vs Goldman/MS TMT's of the world, there are few that have comparable name brand/recognition.
