Bringing tech-enabled succession planning to tens of thousands of Ontario's business owners.
A Note from the Founders
We are thrilled to announce that Succession AI has been selected as the technology partner powering Succession Ontario — the province's first hub for business succession planning, backed by a nearly $2 million investment from the Ontario government.
Only one in ten business owners in Canada has a formal succession plan. The tools that exist were built for billion-dollar deals— they don't work for the businesses that employ our neighbours and shape our communities. This leaves millions of entrepreneurs with nowhere to turn for the most important transaction of their lives.
We built Succession AI to change that. Our platform matches business owners with qualified buyers from a network of over 10,000 acquirers — delivering initial offers in under 45 days and 30–50% higher valuations on average. The kind of exit planning that used to be reserved for large enterprises is now available to every entrepreneur.
Succession Ontario, delivered by the Kingston Economic Development Corporation, will use our technology at its core — powering planning resources, valuation tools, and one-on-one advisory services through Small Business Enterprise Centres across the province. Ontario is the launchpad, and we intend to bring this to markets across Canada and beyond.
We wholeheartedly thank the Ontario government, the team at Kingston Economic Development Corporation, and the business owners across Ontario who inspire everything we do.
Here's to what's next.
