Worth knowing: Endeavour Capital Portland is the largest middle-market PE firm HQ'd in Oregon and a feature most national IB surveys understate for the state. Endeavour Capital (~$5B+ AUM, founded 1991 in Portland, focused on Pacific Northwest + Pacific lower-middle-market PE with substantial consumer + services + food + beverage + healthcare portfolio investments) operates the deepest OR PE deal flow — Endeavour's portfolio companies anchor substantial OR boutique IB engagement. D.A. Davidson Portland (~80 attorneys + bankers in Portland, the Pacific Northwest middle-market investment bank with ~$500M+ revenue across MT + OR + WA + ID + UT regional coverage) anchors OR sell-side coverage including substantial Pacific Northwest M&A + equity research + leveraged finance. Riverlake Partners Portland (private boutique M&A advisory) + Cascade Partners (Lake Oswego boutique) anchor OR boutique advisory work. OR's 9.9% top bracket catches MD + Director comp at $300K+ TC — Portland-metro residents face additional 1.5%/3% Multnomah PFA + 1% Metro SHS layered surtaxes pushing combined Portland-resident top to 13.9%+ at $250K+. This creates substantial residency-arbitrage opportunity for senior PDX bankers willing to live outside the three-county Metro tax zone (Hood River + Clark County WA + Yamhill County). OR has NO sales tax — distinctive vs. all peer states.
