Most searchers spend years hunting for one business. The operators in this room buy and build units by the handful. If franchising is anywhere in your thesis, this might be worth a day. I'm co-hosting the Franchisee Growth Forum in Nashville on Novemberredactedwith Brand Operators and Entrepreneur Media. One hundred seats, one room, one working day, all of it off the record. No exhibit hall and nobody pitching from a stage. Who's in the room: high-potential multi-unit operators, founder-CEOs of vetted franchise brands, family offices and franchise-focused PE who write equity checks, and a handful of suppliers there as peers. We're holding a limited number of seats for searchers buying in. My honest view: most people will never be founders, but plenty of white collar pros have the raw skill to run a multi-unit platform, and that's the profile we want in the room. The five conversations, each led by someone who has done it: - Funding Your Next Ten Units (what's out there beyond the SBA) - Building to Exit (what PE actually pays, by concept and unit count) - Scaling Secrets (the unglamorous part of going from 10 units to 100) - Spotting the Next Big Brand (how to vet a concept before you sign) - Finding Your Unfair AI Advantage (what operators are running day to day) You leave with every operator's name and a short list of the ones worth knowing. Cocktails Wednesday evening, working day Thursday 8 to 5, at a private club downtown. If you're already in Nashville for the franchise industry conference that week, no second trip. Invited operators attend at no cost. We approve every seat, and the room caps at 100. Request a seat: redacted Know a searcher this fits? Pass it along. Reach out if you have any questions: @redacted‌
