Steven Glod

Adopted from Korea as an infant, I built my first landscaping and snow removal business at age twelve—and sold it when I was twenty. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago surrounded by ‘lifers’ at Fortune 500 companies, and knew early on I wanted my career to look different. 

After graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Chemistry and a stint in derivatives trading, I dove into the world of startups. I co-founded the Rent Nest in 2012 (‘Evernote’ for apartments), which led me to a six-month stint living in Romania and a whole lot of learning. We wrapped up the business in 2014 (key takeaway: your tech infrastructure needs to be flawless), and I joined Machinio later that year.

During my time at Machinio (world’s largest search engine for used industrial assets), I helped scale the organization from a startup of 3 to a company of 100+ spanning the U.S., Europe, and Asia. I relocated to Berlin in 2016 to further scale international operations, and oversaw Machino’s acquisition by Liquidity Services in mid-2018.

I’m now investing a lot of my time into helping startups scale across multiple different continents and I’m always looking to network and connect with anyone passionate about startups, crypto, and SaaS sales.

Big news! We’re now Rowan.

New name, new logo, new site. Same purpose.

We help business owners sell the right way, not just fast.

When Christopher Weaver and I started this company, we knew #succession could feel messy and intimidating. We wanted to change that. Rowan is our next step in making that process simpler, clearer, and more human.

You’ll see it in our new look and in the tools we’ve built. My favorite? The free valuation tool. It gives you a realistic snapshot of what your business might be worth in a few minutes. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just clarity.

If you’ve been wondering where to start, that’s the place.

Take a look around the new site and tell me what you think.
