Best US M&A boutiques for Tech from a CLIENT perspective?

Hello to everyone.

I need (serious) advice on which US M&A boutiques I should be talking to from a CLIENT perspective* to hire for advising me and my company on a (deep) tech M&A deal in the ballpark of US$ 100–150 M.

We quickly listed some but I feel like we might be missing others and maybe we're out of target for any given one:

Please feel free to ask any further questions that will help you to give better or more targeted advice. I'd also appreciate candor about any possible biases/disclaimers. Thanks in advance!

'* this means we don't really care about things from an employee perspective, as the usual topic in WSO.
