Rowan, a Chicago-based platform focused on modernizing small-business succession, is reporting that its AI-enabled advisory model is driving more than 30% average gains in client valuations and, in some cases, doubling exit values. By replacing volume-driven brokerage practices with data-rich analysis and structured preparation, Rowan positions sellers to generate stronger buyer interest, more competitive bidding dynamics, and multimillion-dollar incremental value at exit.
Co-founder and CEO Steven Glod said the firm’s differentiation comes from engaging early, conducting deep operational and financial diagnostics, and deliberately shaping how businesses are presented to the market, giving founders more leverage in negotiations. Rowan’s process combines AI systems with hands-on experts to clean up financial reporting, standardize operating data, assemble diligence-ready documentation, and target qualified acquirers, which supports smoother transitions and improved continuity for teams as more owners approach succession in a crowded M&A environment.
