We are excited to share our latest blog post on aerospace and defense investing, "From Exquisite to Attritable: How the Pentagon’s Procurement Shift Is Reshaping Defense Investing". Ironwood Capital has a twenty-year history of investing in businesses across the aerospace and defense ecosystem, with a particular focus on precision manufacturers and mission-critical suppliers. Our patient junior capital (subordinated debt and minority equity) supports financial sponsors and business owners in properly capitalizing their companies for growth, adaptability, and long-term success. Ironwood’s A&D investments have included over ten platforms and numerous add-on acquisitions through multiple market cycles and administration changes. This experience provides a firsthand perspective on how shifts in defense strategy can ripple through the supply chain. As the Department of War’s (i.e., Department of Defense, “DOW”) procurement priorities continue to evolve, Ironwood is focused on identifying and supporting the next generation of defense innovators.

International Women’s Day, observed on March 8, is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Since the first International Women’s Day gathering in 1911, millions of people around the world have come together to support the advancement of women—progress made possible through collective effort and shared commitment. At Ironwood, we believe that collaboration, fairness, and teamwork are essential to advancing gender equality. Since founding our firm more than 35 years ago, we have intentionally built teams that include and support both women and men. This commitment extends across Ironwood and throughout our portfolio companies. Across the more than 120 companies we have partnered with over the years, many have included women in leadership roles, including in the C-suite, helping guide their organizations through growth and change. In addition, eight valued members of the Ironwood team are women, each contributing meaningfully to our collective success. Today, we celebrate women in the workplace and around the world. We hope that the recognition of gender equality we embrace on International Women’s Day continues to guide our actions every day of the year. #IronwoodWomen #WomenAtIronwood #InternationalWomensDay Carolyn Galiette Sandra Samuels Kimberly Craig Jacqueline Jutras Sarah Faulkner Erica L.

Check out Ironwood's latest blog article on healthcare investing! #IronwoodCapital #HealthcareInvesting #PrivateEquity #MiddleMarket #InvestmentStrategy #PrivateCredit #HealthcareServices
We’re excited to share our latest perspective on healthcare investing and opportunity within the lower middle market. As the healthcare landscape evolves, traditional provider-focused strategies are being reshaped by margin pressures and regulatory shifts. In this new environment, Ironwood Capital sees meaningful potential in non-provider healthcare sectors. From medical product manufacturing to tech-enabled services that offer durable business models and room for operational growth. In the blog, we explore why these often overlooked segments deserve attention from investors seeking sustainable growth in healthcare, and how we think about partnering with management teams to unlock value over the long term. We welcome your thoughts and discussion! #HealthcareInvesting #PrivateEquity #MiddleMarket #IronwoodCapital #InvestmentStrategy #PrivateCredit #HealthcareServices https://conta.cc/3OykwJW

✨As we look ahead to an exciting year, we are especially grateful to share that 2026 marks Ironwood Capital’s 25th anniversary of investing in the middle market. This milestone reflects a quarter-century of disciplined investing, enduring partnerships, and a culture rooted in integrity, collaboration, and long-term thinking. Since launching our first fund in 2001, Ironwood has remained committed to a consistent investment philosophy – tailored junior capital solutions, thoughtful co-investment, and partnership-first execution. Applied across five funds, this approach has supported more than 120 portfolio companies and driven approximately $1.5 billion in invested capital across the lower middle market. The foundation we have built together – rooted in consistency, culture, and conviction – positions Ironwood well for the years ahead. As we enter our 25th year, we do so with a clear investment strategy, a well-positioned portfolio, and a continued commitment to delivering differentiated outcomes for our partners. 👉See below for Ironwood Capital's 2025 Year In Review: https://conta.cc/3LSHg6z #IronwoodCapital #TeamIronwood #Partnership #Investing #PrivateEquity #PrivateCredit #MiddleMarket
