Generational Group's Mid-Market Mastery: Why Under-$100M Deals Hold Strategic Gold

The mid-market M&A arena—deals valued under $100 million—has become a battleground for firms seeking to capitalize on the shifting dynamics of private business ownership. Here, Generational Group stands out as a titan, its repeat award-winning dealmaking and strategic prowess making it a beacon for firms navigating exits or acquisitions in this critical valuation range.

The Repeat Success Phenomenon: A Track Record of Excellence

Generational Group's accolades over the past three years paint a clear picture of its dominance. In 2023, it won Healthcare/Life Sciences Deal of the Year for the Fulcrum Research Group acquisition and Industrials Deal of the Year for Integral Industries, Inc. In 2024, its leadership in Corporate/Strategic Deals and Private Equity categories further cemented its reputation. By early 2025, the firm had already closed 20 deals in January alone, signaling a relentless pace. These achievements are no fluke: since 2022, it has been named “Investment Banking Firm of the Year” by the M&A Advisor four times.

The firm's recent 2025 wins—including the Energy Deal of the Year for Foundation Logistics & Services and the Private Equity Deal of the Year ($10MM–$50MM) for Althoff Crane Service—underscore its ability to excel across sectors. This consistency is not merely about volume but about execution quality, as evidenced by its 1,700+ completed transactions and rankings as #1 in $25M deals and #2 in $50M–$100M deals by LSEG (2024).
