Aaron Wilson is a venture capital investor, author & serial entrepreneur who has blazed a trail in an array of industries including, but not limited to technology, human capital, private aviation and private equity.
He received his bachelor’s degree in Business from Binghamton University’s School of Management (where he currently sits as a Board Member) and started his career in finance at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Aaron Wilson is a Co-Founder at Approved Jets, one of the country’s fastest-growing private aviation companies. At Approved Jets, Wilson and his Co-Founder, Kelvin “PJKev” Mensah, service a robust client base that includes but is not limited to NBA & NFL athletes, physicians, attorneys, technology entrepreneurs, and private equity professionals. Approved Jets came to fruition in 2019 and since the company’s inception they have generated over $30 million in revenue through organic growth strategies.
In an effort to scale, Aaron Wilson sought to appeal to a broader audience by providing private aviation adjacent services (villa rentals, yacht charters, exotic car rentals, etc.) and leveraging technology in order to streamline the luxury travel booking process. The aforementioned lead to the creation of Approved Experiences, a sister company to Approved Jets. Approved Experiences is a cutting-edge company in what Wilson coins the “LuxTech” industry. Approved Experiences has attracted top tier Board Members like, Jeff Kuhlman, who is the former Chief Marketing Officer from Bentley Motors and also Zhenbin Xu, who is a 20-year Microsoft veteran who is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) expert who built Microsoft’s virtual assistant product, Cortana. Under Wilson’s leadership, the company released the beta version of their mobile application, Approved Experiences, in the Apple App store in March 2024 and has a suite of technology products on the horizon.
