In this episode of The Digital Executive podcast, Brian Thomas welcomes Chat Joglekar, co-founder and CEO of Baton, a marketplace revolutionizing how small businesses are bought and sold. With prior leadership roles at Zillow, Spotify, and Google, Chat shares how his background in scaling tech platforms shaped his vision for Baton—to become the “Zillow for small businesses.” He explains how Baton empowers entrepreneurs by offering instant, data-driven business valuations, addressing a long-standing gap in transparency and access within the small business market.

Chat also discusses key trends driving change, including the “silver tsunami” of retiring baby boomers and a rising interest among professionals in acquiring established small businesses rather than launching startups. Baton, with its easy integration of financial systems and real-time valuation tools, is at the forefront of this transformation.  Tune in to hear how Chat is democratizing entrepreneurship and why Baton is becoming an essential tool for the next generation of business owners.
