Does anyone have thoughts on this firm? Smaller, regional shop (based in Seattle) so not a lot of discussion on this forum, but they seem solid: they do mostly advisory, have closed 2-3 M&A deals per month YTD, and have been growing headcount quickly according to linkedin. Anyone have any thoughts / experience with them?

Hey got a first round with Cascadia, any insights?
It's a lower MM boutique. Comp is below street, but deal flow is decent. It's a shingle model though and they've made some very questionable hires at MD.

Thanks for the insight. I don't know a ton about banking, so could you elaborate on both of those points? I don't know what a shingle model is, and would be interested in the questionable hires.
A few of the MDs are subpar guys that were let go by larger, more reputable banks. The shingle model means that MD comp is even more heavily dependent on signing up and closing deals. The shared resources are less integrated and the firm operates with more of a franchise approach (see Capstone Headwaters) vs. an integrated unit.
They also tend to low ball fees based on our experience competing with them on pitches.
Don't know much about them, but someone from my school was an analyst for them and recently lateraled to a decent MM coverage group.
Not sure what role you are considering for this firm you should talk to people who've left the firm to hear the pros/cons from their experience before you consider joining them.
