Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

The June 2026 Los Angeles launch expands Aeris into dense West Coast software dealflow.
Sunwave's 2025 merger and 2025 Orchard sale show active transaction momentum.
Open analyst and associate roles in 2026 signal hiring ahead of more mandates.

What critics are saying

Aeris relies on a narrow senior-banker bench; rainmaker departures would immediately weaken coverage.
HCIT mandate flow faces fiercer competition from Raymond James, Harris Williams, and Baird.
One stalled platform sale or merger wipes fee revenue; boutique banks lack recurring income.

What makes Aeris Partners unique

Aeris dominates HCIT and software M&A, adding Brian Soloway from Raymond James in June 2026.
Its Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles footprint targets West Coast founder-led software sellers.
Recent mandates like Sunwave and Orchard Software prove credibility with private equity-backed healthcare software exits.
