If you push people away, you need to get close again because maybe you pushed little too much… Remember at one point you can’t reach them anymore.

Thomas Weisel and other heavyweight bankers and investors from the dot-com heyday are now assessing opportunities among the social media start-ups.

SAN FRANCISCO — Thomas Weisel doesn’t have much personal experience with social media. He has never opened a Facebook or Twitter account, and he has resisted buying an iPhone.But Mr. Weisel knows a lot about overheated markets. His firm, Thomas Weisel Partners Group, was a dominant force in taking technology companies public during the dot-com boom and was hobbled when that bubble burst in 2000.

Stifel Financial, the brokerage house based in St. Louis, said Monday that it had reached a merger agreement with Thomas Weisel Partners worth about $300 million.

The two companies will form a “middle-market investment bank” that will beef up their combined research and wealth management capacity.

Thomas Weisel is an investment bank based in San Francisco that is focused on “growth sectors,” especially technology, health care and energy.

“There is virtually no overlap in investment banking and less than a 10 percent overlap in research coverage,” Thomas W. Weisel, head of the bank, said.

The companies’ combined revenue is estimated at $1.6 billion.

Thomas Weisel Banks on His Reputation to Bring Deals to Stifel

Thomas Weisel is betting that his four decades as a Silicon Valley dealmaker can help him build the Midwestern investment bank Stifel Financial Corp. into a bigger force in acquisitions and initial public offerings.

Thom Weisel, 69, took the role of Stifel’s co-chairman last month after the company bought his old firm, Thom Weisel Partners Group Inc., for almost $200 million. His new job: parlaying his connections into more underwriting and advisory deals for his employer. Stifel makes much of its money helping customers issue stock, raise debt, and buy and sell companies.

His challenge is building Stifel’s recognition among Bay Area venture capitalists, private-equity managers and executives, many of whom haven’t worked with the St. Louis-based bank. He also faces a drought of IPOs. While mergers have picked up, many companies prefer to use the biggest investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley.
