Boulder, CO. – May 19, 2026 – Flatirons Capital Advisors is pleased to announce that it has been named to the 2026 Axial Top 50 Lower Middle Market Industrial M&A Advisors, an annual recognition of the most distinguished lower to middle market sell-side M&A advisors in North America.

The Top 50 industrials list was generated based on a weighted formula leveraging four key metrics:

• The number of industrials deals brought to market via Axial (sell-side)

• The level of interest those deals generated from Axial’s buy-side member base

• The number of specific industrial-focused investment mandates created in the platform (buyside)

• The number of industrials deals that progressed through the deal funnel achieving a signed NDA, shared CIM, received IOI, received LOI, executed LOI, or successfully consummated transaction (buyside & sell-side).

Flatirons Capital Advisors' inclusion in the 2026 Axial Top 50 underscores the firm’s continued commitment to thoughtful strategic advice, disciplined execution, and exceptional client service.

“We are honored to be recognized by Axial for their trust and confidence in our team, and we remain committed to delivering the highest level of advice and execution on every engagement.”

The recognition highlights Flatirons Capital Advisors' position as a trusted advisor to founder and family-owned businesses pursuing strategic and financial alternatives. With deep transaction experience, sector expertise, and a relationship-driven approach, the firm continues to help clients achieve successful outcomes in an increasingly competitive middle-market environment.
