A pair of investment bankers is leaving Centerview Partners to start a firm focused on advising technology companies on mergers and acquisitions.
The men, veteran deal makers David Handler and David Neequaye, have secured the backing of two well-connected firms on Wall Street, Consello and 25madison, according to people familiar with the matter. Both will have minority stakes in the new M&A and strategic-advisory boutique, which is to be focused on technology, media and telecommunications companies and called Tidal Partners.
