About Axial

Axial’s mission is to unleash the power of private capital markets for entrepreneurs - and we’re doing so by building an online platform that is transforming American small business M&A.

Founded in 2009, Axial is an NYC-based financial technology platform serving more than 10,000 participants in the private-company M&A market, including private equity firms, corporate acquirers, boutique investment banks, and business owners looking to sell their companies.

In 2025, approximately half of the U.S. SMBs - companies generating between $5 million and $150 million in revenue - that explored an M&A exit used Axial, resulting in more than 3 million buyer-seller connections across 12,500+ deals.

We’re a lean, high-conviction team building category-defining products for a market that moves quickly and trusts carefully. That demands speed, judgment, and a high standard of execution.
