Start An Axe Throwing Business

Throwing axes is a great way to relieve stress, bond with friends and coworkers, and even make some money.

Axe throwing is a new and exciting activity that is growing in popularity, especially for corporate or business events.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a axe throwing business:

1. Forged Axe Throwing ($720K/year)

James, the founder of Forged Axe Throwing, came up with the idea after attending a white water rafting trip where they used an axe for creative beverage punishments. Upon returning, James and his business partner, Brett, researched axe throwing and discovered it was a niche market with only one person in Canada offering the activity. They invested $60,000 of their own money into the business and launched with a successful grand opening party, attracting hundreds of people and generating significant interest. Since then, they have utilized both traditional and online marketing strategies to attract and retain customers, and have increased their prices twice to meet demand.

How much they make: $720K/year
Current team size: 6
