Rowan, a Chicago-based AI platform focused on small business succession, has raised $3.3 million in seed capital to accelerate product development and scale operations. The round was led by trading firm DRW, with participation from Motivate Ventures, Mercury Fund, and angel investor Eddie Lou, and will fund expansion of Rowan’s proprietary AI tools, hiring, and go-to-market efforts.
Co-founder and CEO Steven Glod said the new capital will support building infrastructure that helps owners plan and execute exits on their own terms, addressing a growing wave of retirements and crowded deal flow. Co-founder Christopher Weaver noted that buyer sophistication and rising expectations are widening the gap between what sellers bring to market and what the market demands, and Rowan aims to close that gap by using AI and expert “Guides” to reduce owner dependence, clean and structure financial and operational data, improve cash flow predictability, and better position companies to attract qualified buyers.
