Advisory

A boutique practice built on deep expertise, long-term relationships, and an unwavering commitment to privacy-first thinking.

Vanaheim Partners is a specialist advisory and investment firm based in Australia. We work with technology companies and founders at the intersection of privacy, product design, and emerging technology — bringing hands-on expertise that is rare in the Australian market.

Advisory Services

  • Privacy-Driven Product Design

    We embed privacy thinking into your product roadmap from day one — not as compliance, but as competitive advantage. From privacy impact assessments to consent architecture, we help you build products users can trust.

  • Technology & Product Strategy

    Strategic counsel at the intersection of technology and product. We help you cut through the noise of emerging technologies to identify what genuinely creates value for your customers and your business.

  • R&D Tax Incentive

    Australia's RDTI program is one of the most generous in the world — but complexity creates risk. We help you structure compliant, defensible claims that capture maximum benefit while standing up to ATO scrutiny.

Our History

A track record built over years of focused, principled work.

  1. 2018

    Founded

    Vanaheim Partners was established with an initial focus on privacy-first product consulting for Australian technology companies navigating a rapidly shifting regulatory and consumer landscape.

  2. 2020

    R&D Advisory

    As demand from portfolio clients grew, we expanded into R&D Tax Incentive advisory services. Simultaneously, we began building our investment thesis around identity and data infrastructure — sectors we believed were structurally underinvested in Australia.

  3. 2022

    Investment Vehicle Launched

    Vanaheim Investments was formally established as a dedicated vehicle. We made our first portfolio investments in the media and analytics sector, backing founders with strong product instincts and defensible data assets.

  4. 2024

    Growing Portfolio

    Today, Vanaheim Partners serves a growing portfolio of advisory clients and investments across Media & Streaming, Research & Analytics, and Identity & Data. We remain Australia-first in geography with a deliberately global outlook on what's coming next.
