Not trying to suck up to them but hear me out. They’ve been doing a lot of tech deals and we all know how hot tech is. Is it possible that they become the next bulge bracket bank?
I do understand that PJT/EVR/Moelis are all fighting for the spot, but I think Liontree is well positioned. Sure their balance sheet is a little smaller than say JPM, but they still compete for deals.

How do you even recruit for them?
i think they only recruit at target schools
It’s a tight race between them and FT Partners
Good call - really going to come down to who wins more mandates this qtr. Underwriting seems to have been an issue for both though.
Their balance sheet is exponentially smaller. They will never be able to underwrite deals like a BB can.
"A little smaller" lol
Holy shit...I think 1/4 people here have caught onto the sarcasm...

Solid shitpost
Nice response to the Evercore post!
I mean I can see EVR becoming bulge within the next few quarters, but we shouldn't dismiss Liontree...They dominate tech, not like that non-Bulge Bracket bank known as "Deutsche Bank."
5/7 should've done a Tobin & Co shitpost
We all know they will never be bulge...they never win mandates plus one of the seniors at my school said it is not a good bank.
Is 16-person Dyal & Co the next BB?
Depends what Vault ranks them as best internships for 2021, anything is possible.
I thought Liontree already was a BB. They do way more deals than boutiques like Bank of America and Morgan Stanley.
Ok, clearly you are not up to speed on the league tables...BoA is clearly a BB in their real estate group, not sure about tech. Have a friend who said TMT deal flow was so-so during his virtual SA this year. MS speaks for itself and will certainly be a BB for a while unless EVR makes a real push.
