Founder-led operating group · Australia
Founded by Corey, Angela & Josh
We take a stake in proven businesses, then run the growth, systems and numbers alongside the founder. Paid from growth, in it to the exit.
We’re three founders who have spent ten years building, funding and scaling businesses from $0. Vanguard is our parent company: through it we take equity in businesses and build them like they’re our own.
What we do
Founders keep doing what they do best: the product, the trade, the customers. We run the rest, and build it to last.
Websites, stores, search and reviews, so the right buyers find you first.
Paid ads, creators and fast follow-up. Every dollar judged on leads and net revenue.
Email, SMS, memberships and support that fight for every repeat order and renewal.
Live dashboards, CRM, job costing and cash collection. Your finger on every dollar.
Portfolio
Consumer brands, apps and services founded and grown by our team, plus the partners we’re building with now.

Fit
A conversation first, then revenue, margin and cash under a confidentiality agreement. If we can’t grow it, we’ll say so.
Terms
A stake in the business, clear lanes for each of us and the founder’s say on the big decisions, in writing.
Days 1–30
Website, tracking, tidy books and a live dashboard, so every decision runs on real numbers.
Days 31–90
Test every channel, cut what doesn’t pay and double what does. A partner review every month.

Why Vanguard
An agency gets paid whether you grow or not. We only do well when you do.
An agency
No retainers and no agency fees. Our return comes from the value we help build.
Monthly reporting on sales, margin and cash that both sides can see. Not clicks.
Website, ad accounts, CRM, dashboards and data stay with the business.
We’re owners, not contractors. When the business is worth more, so is our stake.

Founder-led businesses with a product or service customers already pay for, where growth, systems or cash are what’s holding them back. Services, trades, consumer brands and tech.
No. We don’t charge retainers or agency fees. We take equity and are paid from growth, so we only do well when the business does.
No. Founders keep the majority and the final say on the big decisions, like selling, borrowing or issuing new shares. We run the lanes we’re best at.
The business does. We build systems you own, not tools you rent, and your data stays with your company.
Send us a few lines about the business. If there’s a fit we’ll set up a call, look at the numbers under a confidentiality agreement and come back with simple terms.
