Meet the leadership team
Our team is what makes Auxo such a great partner to founders and operators. We’re finance professionals who take a deeply humanistic approach to work, with strong empathy for the challenges associated with operating a business.
We behave like a startup because we are one.

Connor Frischmeyer
Co-Founder and Partner
I’m a former investment banker with experience in leveraged finance in Chicago, as well as software and technology financing and M&A in San Francisco. I co-founded Auxo Partners to be a different kind of finance advisory firm — we’re staying true to our startup roots and helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses more quickly and with better financial management.
Outside of work I’m most inspired by music (I play in a garage band called the "Single Dads"!), photography, and travel.

Where I’m Working
WeWork! You’ll catch me in WeWorks all around the U.S. and the world, but my favorite is on Canyon Boulevard in Boulder, Colorado.

Jake Luerkens
Co-Founder and Partner
I’m a former investment banker, private equity investor, and corporate development professional who’s worked with dozens of companies across 10+ industries, ranging from early-stage startups to massive corporations. I co-founded Auxo Partners to help empower entrepreneurs and business leaders with the tools, resources, and insights they often don’t have access to (and sometimes aren’t even aware of), but that can move the needle in the meaningful way.
When I’m not working, you can catch me outside and/or doing something active — health & wellness is one of my greatest passions and I make it a point to incorporate it into my lifestyle every day — no exceptions!
