Aaron Bakken
I connect aspiring entrepreneurs with franchise opportunities that are perfect for their professional goals & help successful business owners franchise their brand.
Madison, WI
I’ve started and owned 8 businesses over the past 20 years, including one that spent 3 years on the San Francisco Business Times top 50 fastest growing companies list. Of these 8, two have been franchises and honestly they were the easiest businesses to start and operate.
I also spent 5 years as the franchise sales director for Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Parks, playing a critical role in growing the franchisee base to the point that they were acquired by a private equity group in 2018.
I’ve been leveraging this experience to help both professionals looking to invest in a franchise business as well as successful business owners wondering if franchising their business could be an effective growth strategy. And if so, I guide them through the process & serve as a member of their board of directors for many years to come with the end goal of guiding them to a buyout, acquisition or merger.
