We are Blamey Advisors. Straightforward, honest, corporate advice.
Why we started
While living in New York Ash & Angus were exposed to a city that prides itself on ambition and opportunity for all. Put simply the United States has innovation, growth, and capital advantages not afforded to regular Australian startups. We witnessed countless Aussies excelling in their fields, and believe such opportunities shouldn’t be solely reserved for those living away from home.
Our thesis is that Australian founders are often disadvantaged when pursuing exit strategies and growth opportunities by virtue of geographic boundaries.
Inspired by this gap in the market, we founded Blamey Advisors. Our mission is to bridge the divide between Aussie innovation and US financial resources that can accelerate success. We do this through strategic advice to Australian companies looking to exit via partnerships, buy outs or capital raising for growth and expansion.
By leveraging our international experience, networks and a shared understanding of both markets, we guide Australian businesses towards greater opportunities, ensuring they receive the valuation and capital they deserve.
