10,000 points to whoever comes up with a name we submit to the firm;
50,000 points to someone if the firm decides to use it! (We have no vote in the final decision).
Well, since TCS was so helpful in helping us to name our research boutique, we figured we'd turn to you for help once again!
I can't tell you the existing name of the firm (a friend of ours owns it), but they've been around for about 15 years. It is a two word name that is the same as another firm - it's just one is an LLC and the other is an Inc. The "Inc." filed a lawsuit several years ago against the "LLC" (issues with finding each on the Internet when searching) and as the "LLC" isn't as well known (or as large) as the "Inc," so at this point they figure it's cheaper to change the name rather than keep fighting.
Here's as much of a description of the firm as I can give:
They are a broker dealer that provides a full range of services, however, they focus on raising capital for small businesses with growth prospects. They also have brokers that service high net worth individuals. It is a squeaky-clean firm with very strict hiring requirements. Technically it is not an investment banking boutique, but the firm does not offer research services (has no equity or debt analysts in the employee base).
So.... the Broker Dealer provides investment banking services to small companies (both private and already public) and has a broker network that sells that banking product and their own ideas to (pretty) rich individuals.
Of note, the firm is still located in the "Wall Street" area of New York City. Most firms have moved to mid-town. ...but anything with "Wall Street" in the name is already taken.
Names we thought of, like Sound Securities, Integrity Capital Partners, Anthem Brokerage, Excella (anything), Performance (anything), anything greek (Alpha, Omega, Delta, &etc.) is already gone... so we need help getting creative!
