Generational Group, a leading investment banking firm serving privately held businesses, is proud to announce the successful completion of its 1,700th M&A transaction, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth and leadership in the middle market.
This achievement follows a record-breaking start to 2025, with 50 successful deal closings in the first quarter. This milestone underscores the firm’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results for its clients.
Generational’s investment banking leadership is clearly reflected industry rankings compiled by LSEG (formerly Refinitiv), where the firm has placed first or second in number of deals closed across transaction sizes from $25 million to $1 billion over the past four years

With a team of seasoned professionals and a client-first approach, the firm continues to guide entrepreneurs through one of the most pivotal financial decisions of their lives.
“Reaching 1,700 transactions is a tremendous achievement,” said Brenen Hofstadter, Chief M&A Officer at Generational. “It reflects our team’s relentless dedication to our clients and the care we bring to every engagement. I’m incredibly proud of the results we’ve delivered — and excited for what’s ahead.”
Ryan Binkley, President and CEO of Generational, added, “This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the passion and excellence of our team. I’m especially grateful to our clients for trusting us with their life’s work. Helping business owners achieve their goals and protect their legacy is what drives us every day.”
As Generational looks to the year ahead, the firm remains committed to delivering strategic outcomes for privately held businesses across North America and is well-positioned to lead in what is expected to be a highly active M&A environment.
