AlwaysOn and KPMG are pleased to announce the first annual AO Top Dealmakers List. These top firms cover the entire growth-investment food chain including limited partner investors, VCs, investment banks, law firms, private equity, institutional investors, and corporate buyers. AO will publish the numbers behind these picks in the next issue of the AlwaysOn Magazine, which will hit the newsstands in early December. Winning firms were rewarded for their dollars invested and M&A and IPO success in the globaltech, media & entertainment, and greentech sectors in the last twelve months.
Limited Partners Limited partners are the big, quiet kahunas at the front of the technology finance food chain. Venture capital firms are just one thing they invest in, but they’re what provides most of the money VCs have under management. 1 TIAA-CREF 2 CalPERS 3 CalSTRS 4 Harvard Management Co. (HMC) 5 Yale Endowment 6 University of Texas (UTIMCO) 7 Stanford Management Co. (SMC) 8 Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO) 9 MIT (MITIMCO) 10 Ford Foundation
Venture Capital – Early-Stage You have a business plan and a bunch of code. Now you need to raise a million dollars or two to productize your concept and get an office. Besides providing operating startup capital, early-stage VCs will help you form your board and build your team. 1 Sequoia Capital 2 New Enterprise Associates 3 Benchmark Capital 4 Draper Fisher Jurvetson 5 Bessemer Venture Partners 6 Accel Partners 7 Charles River Ventures 8 Matrix Partners 9 Greylock Partners 10 Doll Capital Management 11 Lightspeed Venture Partners 12 Index Ventures 13 Norwest Venture Partners 14 Madrona Venture Group 15 Hummer Winblad
Venture Capital – Late-Stage You’re hiring a sales force, building a channel, upgrading your executive team, and bringing products to market. At this point, until you’re fully profitable, get acquired, or raise public equity through an IPO, your operating capital comes from late-stage venture investors. Some VC firms do both early- and late-stage VC, as you’ll see in our picks below. 1 Sequoia Capital 2 New Enterprise Associates 3 Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers 4 Greylock Partners 5 Menlo Ventures 6 Mobius Venture Capital 7 Draper Fisher Jurvetson 8 Benchmark Capital 9 Accel Partners 10 Bessemer Venture Partners 11 Oak Investment Partners 12 Redpoint Ventures 13 U.S. Venture Partners 14 Mayfield Fund 15 DCM - Doll Capital Management
Venture Capital – Corporate Investors Corporate VCs are a little different. They can invest in early- or late-stage deals, but they usually focus on sub-sectors and investments with potential business benefits for their limited partner – the corporate parent. 1 Intel Capital 2 Comcast Interactive Capital 3 Hearst Corporation/Hearst Interative Media 4 Time Warner Investments 5 IDG Ventures 6 Qualcomm Ventures 7 Motorola Ventures 8 Cisco 9 Adobe Ventures 10 SAP Ventures
Corporate Law Firms First, let’s call the lawyers – at least, that’s a good plan in the world of technology finance. Some of these firms have done well by providing low or deferred-fee incorporation services to brand-new startups, sometimes for shares, and some not only provide counsel but also introductions during mergers, IPOs, or other financing events. 1 Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC 2 Latham & Watkins 3 Fenwick & West 4 Gunderson Dettmer 5 Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP 6 Goodwin Procter LLP 7 Cooley Godward Kronish LLP 8 DLA Piper US LLP 9 Cravath Swaine & Moore 10 Manatt Phelps Philips
Investment Banks When the time is right to take your company public or get bought, you work with investment banks. If it’s an IPO, they underwrite you – helping prepare your prospectus, setting the share price, promoting you to institutional investors, and once you’re public, providing analyst coverage of your stock to keep public investors up to date on your financial performance. If it’s an M&A, they act as advisers to either party, structuring the deal, and providing acquisition capital. There are two tiers of investment banks: the bulge brackets are large, global, financial service companies that combine commercial banking, investment banking and sometimes insurance. The middle market, or boutique, investment banks are generally not affiliated with commercial banks.
Investment Banks -- Bulge Bracket 1 Morgan Stanley 2 Goldman Sachs 3 Lehman Brothers 4 Credit Suisse 5 JPMorgan 6 Merrill Lynch 7 Citigroup 8 Deutsche Bank 9 UBS Investment Bank 10 Banc of America Securities Investment Banks -- Boutiques 1 Jefferies & Company Inc 2 Evercore Partners 3 Thomas Weisel Partners 4 Needham & Company, LLC 5 Montgomery & Co. LLC 6 Cowen & Company LLC 7 William Blair & Co., LLC 8 Wachovia Securities 9 Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin 10 Greenhill & Co.
Private Equity Private equity, or leveraged buyout, firms are the ones that take public companies private, or buy their stock with the goal of turning them around and selling them. 1 Carlyle Group, The 2 TPG Capital 3 Blackstone Group, The 4 Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company 5 Silver Lake Partners 6 General Atlantic 7 Hellman & Friedman LLC 8 Vista Equity Partners 9 Vector Capital 10 Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe
Institutional Public Investors Asset management firms of all stripes (mutual funds, hedge funds, etc.) fall into this category. Besides investing in technology stocks, they may also become limited partners in private equity firm funds. 1 Fidelity Management & Research 2 T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. 3 Wellington Management Co. LLP 4 Capital Research & Management Co. 5 AllianceBernstein LP 6 Capital Guardian Trust Co. 7 Vanguard Group, Inc. 8 Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co. LLC 9 Goldman Sachs Asset Management LP (US) 10 Wells Capital Management, Inc.
