Axial
Axial is a private deal network for the North American lower middle market, connecting business owners, M&A advisors, private equity firms, lenders and corporate acquirers to source, market and close transactions confidentially. Founded in 2010 by Peter Lehrman, the platform uses matching algorithms and CRM-style tools to privately introduce sell-side deals to relevant buyers, and its 20,000+ members have transacted more than $25 billion across 2,000+ closed deals.
Plural
Plural is a San Francisco fintech building the financial operating system for infrastructure - a programmable execution layer that tokenizes real-world energy assets like solar farms, battery storage, and data centers. It targets the 'missing middle' of clean energy: sub-$100M projects too small for traditional project finance but too big to ignore. By pairing smart-contract automation with a registered broker-dealer, Plural lets developers raise capital faster and lets institutional and alternative investors underwrite, monitor, and trade cash-flow streams from the electron economy.
